A Nation In Need of A Hug Hug Therapy

    • Kinder und Familie

They're free, and for many people they're vital for health and happiness. Yet one in ten of us can't remember the last time we got one. We're talking hugs and it seems, as a nation, we're snuggle-sparse and in need of more!

According to research published today by Forever Friends, 1 in 3 Brits say they crave more hugs in their life. The UK's stiff upper lip and traditionally reserved nature get the blame for this by a quarter of those questioned. And 10% of Brits admit for them hugging just doesn't come naturally.

But for those who do indulge in the habit of hugging, a stingy 25% save up their hugs for special occasions. And over half of Brits vote the best hug to get is from a partner.
