HEALTH

1) Get a massage. Besides its relaxing properties, the touch involved in massage creates warmth in your body and releases the chemical oxytocin—also known as the cuddle hormone.
2) Eat chickpeas (or other beans). Chickpeas have an amino acid that makes you happy, and beans keep your sugar levels steady throughout the day.
3) Install more windows in your house. Getting enough exposure to the sun has been proven to be crucial to happiness and well-being.
4) Drink coffee. Studies in Brazil showed that people who drink coffee every day are less likely to suffer from depression. Coffee is the world’s most popular mood-enhancing drug but remembers to drink in moderation.

5) Eat more spinach. Popeye's favorite green is packed with folic acid, an important vitamin that boosts serotonin production.
6) Eat foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Certain kinds of fish like salmon or sardines have Omega-3, which is known to elevate mood levels—high doses are even used to treat depression.
7) Eat more colorful fruits and vegetables. They contain antioxidants that help remove toxins from our bodies that cause stress and aging.
8) Put some strawberries in your breakfast. The smell of strawberries is known to invigorate and energize.
9) Drink hot mint tea. The scent of fresh mint is energizing and the steam will perk you up.
