Babies, who are human beings at their most vulnerable stage, need to be touched a lot.

 - at a stage: ...의 단계에서

 

According to one study, the more babies are hugged, kissed and cuddled by their mothers, the more confident, resilient, and independent they will be.

 - cuddle = hug: 껴안다, 포옹하다

 - resilient = buoyant: 쾌활한, 발랄한

 - resilient: 원상으로 돌아가는, 탄력 있는, 곧 기운을 회복하는

 

The act of kissing attests that two people are intimate with each other.

 - attest = bear witness to: 증명/입증하다, 법정에서 증언/인증하다

 

Rupert Brooke, a renowned English poet, said that "A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years."

 - wipe out: 없애다, 쓸어버리다, 전멸시키다, 몰살하다

A study done in Russia showed that kissing prevents stress hormones from causing insomnia and high blood pressure. Three passionate kisses a day between lovers are said to shed two kilograms a month.

 - shed: 떨어지게 하다, 갈다, 흘리다, 발산하다, 영향을 미치다

 

Kissing can even help protect people from new types of germs. By exchanging saliva with one's lover, a person's immune system gets exposed to different bacteria and develops stronger immunity.

 - exchange STH with SB: STH을 SB와 교환하다
