Think About the Healing Power of Hugs (and Maybe Give One!)

Do you need a hug? Today's health challenge is one I hope you'll read, because I think we forget how healthy an embrace can be...

One, two, three ... hug! As silly as it sounds, giving and receiving hugs may be healthier than you could ever imagine. I was reading recently about a baby that came back from the brink of death when his mother hugged him. It sheds light on how doctors can perform every medical procedure and prescribe every pill under the sun, and yet sometimes the most healing thing is a good old fashion hug.

When's the last time you had a good hug?
