Fun, Amazing, Etc.

This is the official blog of indie author / adventure writer Andy R. Bunch, author of the fantasy book, "Suffering Rancor." As always, I'll post funny or amazing things I find in my travels or from poking around online. This is a great place to kick back and relax a bit. You may note that I’m not too clean or too dirty. For more information on my book, go to http://andyrbunch.weebly.com/. Here are links to first two books http://goo.gl/iHP1i and http://goo.gl/kK13W

Fun with Hugging!


Original Post
  • Hugging increases levels of the “love hormone” oxytocin, which is beneficial for stress levels, heart health, and more
  • A 20-second hug reduces the harmful physical effects of stress, including its impact on your blood pressure and heart rate
  • A 10-second hug a day may fight infections, boost your immune system, ease depression and lessen fatigue
  • The giver of a hug receives just as much benefit as the receiver, but some research suggests the healthiest hugs must come from someone you trust (as opposed to a stranger)
