Researchers have found that smiling reduces stress and keeps the heart healthy.Dr. Simon Young, Professor at McGill University, Montreal in Canada says that a chemical is produced in the brain called “Serotonin” that has a far reaching effects on human behaviour and emotions. The neurochemical Serotonin is the Happiness Molecule that essentially leads to changes in Mood. Thought process releases Serotonin which creates a sense of well-being and calmness. Indirect evidence suggests that Bright-Light acts on both the Serotonin and Dopamine Systems. Those who suffer from Depression can be treated with exposure to Bright-Light. Meditation can make people feel more positive, happy, and calm. Foods when given in purified form can help in the treatment of Clinical Depression. Foods rich in Folic Acid like fish oils, leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, eggs, milk, and meat release neurochemicals that affect Memory. Exercise improves Mood and boosts Serotonin levels. Serotonin is greater during Walking and Running which improves Mood to feel Happy. Another important factor that is associated with better mood is having a larger “Social Circle” which also influences Social Interactions and Social Behaviour.
