Did you know that April 17 was National High Five Day?
A high five isn’t just a quick slap of hands—it’s a universal symbol of victory, encouragement, and human connection. Whether you’re celebrating a win, cheering on a friend, or just spreading good vibes, that small gesture does a lot more than you might think.
The date might’ve passed, but we’re still riding the high five energy!
The Science Behind the High Five: What’s Really Going On?
Palm-to-palm contact triggers a chain reaction in your brain and body:
✔️ Dopamine Hit – The “Feel-Good” Chemical
A high five sparks dopamine, the reward chemical that helps you feel accomplished and motivated.
✔️ Oxytocin Boost – The “Bonding” Hormone
Even a quick high five can increase oxytocin, which helps build trust and social connection.
✔️ Endorphins Activate – Natural Stress Relief
Endorphins lighten your mood and help you feel more relaxed—just one reason high fives are a go-to in sports.
✔️ Cortisol Drops – Less Stress, More Chill
Positive touch like a high five can reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels.
Bottom line: high fives aren’t just fun—they’re a science-backed way to boost your mood.
