National Cuddle Up Day

We're urged to snuggle up with someone for the health benefits and more each year on January 6th.

January is one of the year's coldest days, so what better way to stay warm and reap the health benefits of cuddling on National Cuddle Up Day? There are several benefits to cuddling with a human or canine, as well as another dog. It's a three-dog night (a night so cold it takes three dogs to cuddle up with to remain warm) or just marginally chilly, there are several benefits to cuddling with a human or canine, or some other species of dog.

Cuddling manufactures oxytocin. This hormone alone has major health benefits. b.e. oxytocin reduces pain, as well as giving us warm and fuzzy feelings. So, when the cold has made those muscles and joints ache, cuddling can help eliminate those aches and pains.

Oxytocin also helps reduce heart disease, lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. Of course, insurance companies would probably cover cuddling if it weren't free, since it's such a significant health benefit!!

Emails, texts, or chats are all more than just e-mails, texts, or chats. Physical touch can also conveys confidence, dedication, security, and reassurance. This refers both human-to-human and human-to-pet communication, as well as human-to-pet interaction; cuddling refers to all of these aspects that are essential to a healthy relationship..

Cuddling also raises sexual appetite. Dopamine is released, boosting the brain's desire for pleasure, which is triggering the appetite for pleasure. But dopamine can also help memory and focus..

Don't have someone to cuddle with? Make a massage appointment. Massage has similar benefits, according to studies.

With someone you love, schedule a cuddle-up session. For a snuggle session or a massage, bring your pet up on the couch.

Take stock of your emotions before participating in a round of snuggling. What are your aches and pains? e them on a scale from 1-10. Isn't it a bit like an ogre? You know, it's either slightly moody or overly cloudy.

After you soak up the benefits of your cuddle up, re-evaluate your pain and your mood.. Was there an improvement? Was there one? Did you get a dose of oxytocin, a natural mood booster, and pain relief? If so, use #NationalCuddleUpDay to post on social media if possible.
