TOUCH

Touch is the first of our senses that comes alive in the womb.

From when we are babies bonding with our parents, to when we get older and form romantic relationships, from stroking a pet or hugging a friend, touch helps us feel connected.

Touch releases dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, decreasing negative feelings & making us happier.

Touch prevents infection and humans who touch show fewer symptoms of stress-related illness. Touch reduces blood pressure and lowers heart rates, improving our heart health. Not only does touch help reduce illness in stressed people, but touch also reduces stress in general managing our cortisol, keeping us alert yet healthy.

So touch, be touched and find life touching....

Touch helps us trust, contact, communicate and love.
