foods that make you happy

Apparently certain food and treats do make people happy... no it's not just all in your head, but it has scientific proofs.

Fatty fish such as samon is rich in Omega 3 that stimulates serotonin in the brain. Serotonin has been proven to help cheer people up. Maybe this is why I'm always happy when I have a lot of sashimi at Japanese restaurants.

The news piece that I read this from also pointed out that chocolate, coffee, and red wine rank among the highest of "happy foods" list where they help uplift and stablize people's mood and emotions.

Now I know why I'm (almost) always happy.
