Happiness and Health Defined
We all know what happiness feels like, but we can't always put those feelings into words. At the most basic level, happiness is a general state of well-being and satisfaction. On a physical level, there is a more immediate aspect to feeling happy. When you experience joyful feelings, your nervous system is triggered to react by releasing powerful neurochemicals that have the power to regulate your mood at any given moment.
