Here I found an interesting article that encourages us to hug a tree! What a sweet and thoughtful idea! :)
As quoted from the article; “Research has shown that humans need physical touch to stay mentally and physically healthy. Without it, many become lonely, sad and even sick.”
What's the solution? Hug a tree!
I hope you enjoy the article and join me for a discussion! I would love to meet you and hear from you.
