Four happiness hormones


A Yogi and a young doctor had an interesting conversation.

The doctor said to the Yogi, “Sir, you are telling that yoga and meditation results into happiness. I have done my research and found that happiness levels in humans are controlled by the hormones.”

“Interesting, please tell me more about these hormones”, replied the Yogi.

“There are four hormones that control the level of human happiness, namely endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. We should keep the level of these four hormones healthy in order to be happy all the time. The first one, endorphins is released in the body when we exercise. This hormone helps the body to cope with the pain that is associated with different body moments and stretching. It is also found that laughter also generates endorphins.”
