Much like a drug,
physical contact
gives us elation.
Studies show
that a simple
touch can
activate the
reward regions
of our brains,
reduce the
amount of stress
hormones
coursing through
our bloodstreams,
and diminish
physical pain
by reducing
activation in
the parts of
the brain
associated
with stress.
