Hey please mark my answer as brainlist.
A) Physical Reactions
According to Joyful Days, happiness is a physical reaction to one of these chemicals being released:
1. Endorphins
Endorphins stop the pain. They are the body’s natural painkillers. They helps us to keep on moving when we are hurt or when we need to escape.
“Ways to increase endorphins:
(a) Exercise: Anaerobic exercise activates our bodies’ natural painkillers. Endorphins don’t really help us to feel good, but they do help us to feel less bad.
(b) Eat spicy food: Receptors on our tongues react to spice by sending signals to our brains similar to pain signals. This triggers the production of endorphins.”
2. Serotonin
Serotonin makes us more agreeable and sociable. If we don’t have enough of it, we can become irritable and depressed.
“Ways to increase serotonin:
(a) Choose positive thoughts: When we choose to remember happy events in the past, or focus on what we’re grateful for in the present, our brains seem to produce more serotonin.
(b) Expose yourself to sunlight: When sunlight reaches our skin, we produce vitamin D which in turn helps produce serotonin.
(c) Exercise at low intensity: While endorphins are produced in anaerobic zones, serotonin results from aerobic exercise. Serotonin also lingers in our system after exercise.
(d) Consume tryptophan with carbohydrates: Foods like milk and corn contain tryptophan, which our bodies convert to serotonin. (High protein foods apparently don’t convert so well; neither do bananas – the serotonin in these cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.) Carbohydrates aid the conversion process so don’t skip these!”
3. Dopamine
Dopamine creates a pleasurable feeling. It is released when we try to achieve a goal. It helps us to act so that we can experience the pleasure of the reward.
“Ways to increase dopamine:
(a) Set daily or monthly goals: Having specific, measurable and achievable goals give us something to strive towards, thus stimulating dopamine production.
(b) Exercise with an objective: Dopamine levels tend to rise together with serotonin when we exercise. Since dopamine is associated with goal achievement, setting a distance or time target will stimulate its production.”
4. Oxytocin
Oxytocin is known as the ‘love’ hormone and it is released on physical contact.
“Ways to increase oxytocin:
(a) Have a massage: A massage increases our emotional well-being since the prolonged physical contact releases oxytocin in our system.
(b) Make physical contact: When you get a chance, hug your family and friends.
