How much do you know about the healing powers of touch? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Did you know that touch is the first sense that we receive at about 8 weeks of gestation. Touch is also the last sense to leave us when we die. With today’s technology, we are less likely to get the daily touches in – there is too much interaction on social media, texting, and email– and not enough hand shaking or back patting. Researchers have long known that the power of touch can heal the body and relieve stress. Humans need touch to thrive – with over 5 million touch receptors; our bodies are craving physical connections. Today when you go home, hug your kids a little tighter, give your spouse a back rub, or go see an elderly loved one and be sure to touch them when you talk to them.
