serotonin-effects on mood

Serotonin is a hormone that is directly related to the feeling of happiness and contentment. In the early years man had to hunt for food to survive. Their main concern was keeping their belly full. There are two brains in our body which are connected to each other: our stomach's brain and our thinking brain. The one can't function without the other. In order to feed the 'brains' with the necessary fuel you need to bear in mind what you actually put in your mouth - for your stomach's brain- and what thought processes you apply in different situations in your life-your thinking brain. So, you should care of your diet ie. follow a more balanced one (you can visit a dietician who will follow you more closely) and as for your thinking brain take up some form of mild exercise to get those endorphins going and of course keep yourself happy by avoiding stressful situations like hell on high water. How? Put yourself first and put your happiness first. YOU are responsible for your own happiness.
Adrenaline, that surging burst of energy we feel when stressed, happens as a defense mechanism when our brains sense we are under attack. Too much Adrenaline increases our blood pressure, cardiovascular function, and amount of energy sent to our brains. It even thickens our blood so we can bleed more slowly if wounded. Adrenaline is a natural and necessary human function, but having too much does the body and mind harm.
