How to raise oxytocin levels
It’s quite simple: the simplest way is to do it hug as often as possible.
– The production of oxytocin increases during the habitual contact of people close to us. The more oxytocin we produce, the stronger the feeling we describe as happiness, explains the cardiologist.
As Natalia Hunninen said, the reflex connection between body contact and increased oxytocin levels is fixed since childhood. It is she who in the future provides all the positive effect of the hormone that occurs when touched.
In addition to hugs the release of oxytocin can cause kissing and sex.
Pets also help. Of words University of California professor Loretta Breuning, just raise your oxytocin level caress your pets.
