Thanks to technology, we believe that we are more connected than ever, but this is unfortunately not true: the screen will never be able to replace the human touch, which no one can live without. Here's the evidence as to why!
Modern technologies are entered all the pores of human life to the extent that we have forgotten how to interact with people live, get close to them and with them make physical contact. It is true that we hug or kiss someone here and there, but we are not really aware of it the importance of the human touch, which is not only the foundation for our psychophysical health, but also for many other things (about which you will soon learn more). After you read it, you will for sure touched and hugged people important to you. Get started today!
Why can't anyone live without human touch?
Touch makes us happy.
According to the testimonies scientists into us release happy hormones, when another person touches us and we allow them to do so. The chemical oxytocin is said to induce this lowering of blood pressure and norepinephrine level (stress hormone), so we feel calm and satisfied. For this reason, people who communicate more often by touch are said to be happier and more satisfied.
Touching things gives them meaning.
Let's remember how many times we have doubt the emotions of a person who expressed his feelings through a mobile screen. This mistrust is a natural state, because scientists they note that due to it is through the human touch that things truly gain their meaning and sense. We become aware of our surroundings, because touch shows us what our reality is like.
Experts also call this phenomenon The Thomas Effect. It was named after the apostle To Thomas, who asked Jesus to touch his wounds, because only then could he be sure that Jesus had truly risen from the dead.
Touch is medicine for our body.
In one studies the experts found that those participants who received regular or frequent hugs felt a lot fewer cold symptoms than participants who did not hug. It's about that regular hug supposedly lowers the stress level in the body and thus vulnerability to colds decreases. The cold season is approaching - now you know what is your medicine for diseases! 🙂
We can achieve what we want with touch.
Let's just think about how many times we have wanted to convince someone of something through a telephone conversation, but we did not succeed, when we met the person in person and touched them, but somehow relented. Scientists note that a similar situation occurs when others ask us for help, which we tend to be much more willing to offer if a person touches us. Waiters are said to receive higher tips even for touching guests' shoulders. All of this is supposed to happen because touch amplifies a sense of sincerity and of trust.
Touch is part of us.
Even if some people resist it and do they feel more comfortable in the world of technology, touch is a part of us and that cannot be disputed - studies they also demonstrate that mortality is said to be higher among babies who are deprived of touch and affection on a daily basis. The lack of touch is said to have such a strong impact on mental and physical health that it can even leads to death.
Scientists believe that touch is essential for healthy physical, emotional and mental development because our need for touch is thought to be linked to our the need for love – so the touch should be ours a survival tool, which we developed during evolution.
