- It slows down aging (huggers stay young longer).
- It eases tension.
- It fights insomnia.
- It keeps arms and shoulder muscles in condition.
- It provides stretching exercise if you are short.
- It provides stooping exercise if you are tall.
- It offers a wholesome alternative to promiscuity.
- It can be done anywhere.

- It is democratic (anyone is eligible for a hug).
- It is free to give and ecologically sound.
