Boost Your Happy Hormones, Brighten Your Heart

We are in an era where people consciously make healthier choices in lifestyle. The world has begun to weigh mental health just as much as physical health. The human brain being a mystery, the endless amount of research has been pointing to simple aspects of life entangled with overall neurological health. The class of happy hormones in a layman’s words are most involved in regulating stress and anxiety disorders. Hippocrates stated that “Nature itself is the best physician”, studies have emphasised the impact of nature on mental health.

What are happy hormones?

The whole purpose of a human life is to be happy. Biologically, there are a group of hormones for example: oxytocin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and phenylethylamine which act as messengers. They are called “happy hormones” or “feel-good hormones” as they make us feel great, both mentally and physically. They give us a feeling of positivity and happiness and keep us lively from within. The hormone for happiness depends on the quality of our thoughts, activities, sleep patterns, lifestyle, and food intake.

Nature and Happiness 

All scientific research on mental health has given major emphasis on the connection between nature and the overall well-being of an individual. Many reports have shown the direct link between the production of Nature and Happy hormones. Indulging in outdoor activity and breath of fresh air has proven to increase endorphin production. Nature walks in ample sunlight and scenic beauty has a promoting effect on serotonin secretion and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Dopamine being the hormone in the brain’s reward system is highly elevated with adventurous activity. Gatherings as groups, filled with warm conversations and wholesome meals can increase oxytocin levels. Similar is the case with blue spaces, they bring in calm to a chaotic mind. The age-old Japanese practise of Shinrin-yoku/ forest bathing reduces cortisol levels, and enhances overall well-being through the increase of happy hormones. Spending time with your kids or pets in a garden, for that matter is a simple way to surge your happiness.
