NEW YORK (WABC) -- Sunday is the day to 'hug it out.' It's National Hugging Day.

The day was started by a pastor in Michigan back in 1986, as a way to promote safe and positive interactions with family and friends.

And it can be good for your health.

Studies show hugging can help lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and reduce stress.
