We need 4 hugs a day for survival.

We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance.

We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

Goda effekter av kramar;

• It feels good.
• It dispels loneliness.
• It overcomes fear.
• It opens doors to feelings.
• It builds self-esteem.
• It fosters altruism.
• It slows down aging (huggers stay young longer).
• It helps curb appetite (we eat less when we are nourished by hugs and when our arms are busy wrapped around others).
• It eases tension.
• It fights insomnia.
• It keeps arms and shoulder muscles in condition.
• It provides stretching exercise if you are short.
• It provides stooping exercise if you are tall.
• It offers a wholesome alternative to promiscuity.
• It offers a healthy, safe alternative to alcohol and other drug abuse (better hugs than drugs!).
• It affirms physical being.
• It is democratic (anyone is eligible for a hug).
• It is ecologically sound (it does not upset the environment).
• It is energy-efficient (saves heat).
• It is portable (you can take it with you).
• It requires no special equipment.
• It demands no special setting (a fine place for a hug is any place from a doorstep to an executive conference room ... from a church parlor to a football field).
• It makes happy days happier.
• It imparts feelings of belonging.
• It fills up empty places in our lives.
• It keeps on working to dispense benefits even after the hug is released.
