Dr Oz: Hugs Release Oxytocin & Yawning Unlocks Happiness

Can you bring your happiness out of hiding by simply yawning? Or will smiling until you feel happy really make you happy?

One way Dr Oz suggests unlocking those happy feelings is with hugging. A good hug, not one of those silly side hugs, will release a hormone called Oxytocin.
