Never underestimate the power of touch... Doesn't it feel so good when someone pats you on the back and gives you words of encouragement during your most challenging times? Hug or embrace someone today... You'll never know when you have saved another life.
Get intimate, establish close ties with your family and friends... The love and care expressed by others could tremendously boost your immune system and fend off illnesses... Best of all, you'll live a more secured and happy life.
