The top 4 happy hormones are oxytocin, endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
Oxytocin is the bonding and love hormone, which builds trust, empathy and deep social bonds.
Oxytocin is essential for human connection as well as relationships and physical affection.
You can boost oxytocin by hugging someone you love, cuddling with a pet or even holding hands or engaging in social conversation.
Endorphins are the natural pain reliever hormones.
Endorphins act as your body's natural response to stress, discomfort, or even physical pain to block out any discomfort and boost your well-being.
To boost endorphins in the body you can work out intensely such as for example "runners high", laugh with people and friends, stretch or even eat some nice delicious dark chocolate.
Serotonin is the mood stabilizer hormone and works by regulating your overall mood, emotional stability as well as sleep cycles, appetite, and digestion and it also promotes a long lasting sense of calm and well being.
You can boost serotonin in the body by getting morning sunlight, practicing regular aerobic exercise or even eating foods that are rich in tryptophan, such as cheese, eggs and or turkey.
And dopamine is the reward and pleasure chemical hormone.
Dopamine drives your motivation, focus, learning and your brain's pleasure and reward system and it also creates a surge of excitement when you also anticipate or achieve a goal.
You can boost your dopamine by completing a to do list, listen to favorite music, watch a favorite show, exercise and or eat protein rich foods.
