It's a simple gesture, but full of feelings. Since childhood, people learn to embrace those who are close to them to transmit different emotions, whether in moments of joy, sadness, homesickness or, simply, when they feel like it.
For those who are going through difficult times, receiving a hug is comforting because it means attention, support, comfort and it conveys solidarity with others.
Research has shown that hugging has health benefits, as it increases levels of a substance called oxytocin, which has the particularity of reducing stress and anxiety states, increasing the happiness and well-being of the people.
At childbirth, mothers who have a higher level of oxytocin are likely to develop more bonding behavior with the baby.
In love relationships, a hug improves the relationship, as it encourages communication between the couple and understanding of problems.
In written or verbal communications, it is common for people to say goodbye with the expression: "A hug".
In English, the word hug is translated as hug.
