Heal Yourself With This Love Hormone
Munnabhai used the Jaadu Ki Jappi to great effect in the movie. But it turns out it works in real life too. Hugging (and kissing) releases a hormone called Oxytoxin, which has powerful health promoting properties. Oxytocin is known as the pair bonding and cuddle hormone, is a naturally occurring hormone released by your pituitary gland.
Oxytocin’s boosts your ability to counteract stress. The more oxytocin your pituitary gland releases, the better your ability to handle stressful situations, as it decreases the levels of cortisol and other stress hormones and lowers your blood pressure during moments of anxiety.
Recently researchers have found that oxytocin infusion reduces cell deaths in an injured heart and reduces certain inflammatory factors that can slow healing.
A great means of acquiring oxytocin is through skin-to-skin contact with another human being - simple touch and closeness. Contact with animals has some beneficial effect as well. Oxytocin has a powerful effect on infants, but brings greater bonding and mental and physical health for everyone.
PS: Synthetic oxytocin is used to expedite the growth of fruits and vegetables. This artificially generated hormone can be extremely dangerous to health. Always try to consume organic vegetables. Read more here.
