Also: Meditation, Yoga, and likeminded activities are extremely helpful in balancing our hormones.
What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received?
From his wife: How to properly hug and hold hands. A good 3 to 6 second hug helps release a surge of oxytocin. This helps in lowering the testosterone levels in a woman’s body and increases their estrogen levels. A recommended 4 hugs a day is very helpful and soothing for a relationship.
