Being happy doesn’t just put a smile on your face – it’s also beneficial to your physical health.
Happiness Hormones:
Whenever we encounter positive emotions, our brain releases certain neurotransmitters – also known as “happiness hormones” – which are known for showing positive effects on many of our bodily functions.
Low Cortisol:
Happiness results in greater levels of these hormones, it also lessens the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol has harmful impacts on our immune system, it causes us to age more rapidly & actually thins our skin, weakens our bones. Boosting one’s happiness thus means less stress and less stress means better health.
