One of the factors that plays an important role in a person's happiness and mental state is happiness hormones. They are special chemicals produced in the brain that directly affect a person's mood, energy, and level of satisfaction with life.
Serotonin
Serotonin is one of the main substances that form the feeling of happiness and peace of mind. It affects a person's daily mood, reduces stress, and regulates sleep-related processes.
With serotonin deficiency, a person feels depressed, anxious, and mentally exhausted. An amino acid called tryptophan is necessary for its production. It is abundant in eggs, fish, and dairy products. Also, using sunlight, physical exercise, and meditation increase serotonin levels.
Dopamine
Dopamine is a hormone that motivates a person to action and gives strength in striving for goals. It occupies a leading position in the "reward" system. When a goal is achieved or success is achieved, dopamine is produced in the brain, and a person experiences a sense of satisfaction.
If dopamine is deficient, a person may experience lethargy, lack of motivation, and even depression. To increase it, it is recommended to try new exercises, exercise, and a healthy diet.
Endorphin
Endorphins are known as natural "pain relievers." They are released during stress or pain, bringing a person a feeling of relief and joy. For example, the feeling of "sports happiness" that arises after a long run is caused precisely by endorphins.
Endorphins are also produced in humans after laughter, creativity, listening to music, or good sleep. They not only alleviate pain, but also lift your spirits and help you look at life positively.
