The Benefits of Oxytocin
 
Research has shown that neuropeptide oxytocin, also known as the bliss hormone, can deliver the following benefits:
 
• Living longer. One of the main ways of acquiring the oxytocin is through skin-to-skin contact with another human being — simple touch and closeness. It is one of the main reasons that couples who touch each other live longer than single people.
 
• Faster recovery from illness and living longer whilst living on your own. Touch with animals has some beneficial effect as well. Oxytocin quite likely plays a role in why pet owners heal more quickly from illness and live longer than singles without pets.
 • Parent – child bonding. Oxytocin has a powerful effect on infants bringing greater bonding and mental and physical health for both parents and children.
