what causes happiness in brain
According to modern science, happiness is caused by brain chemistry, in particular the chemicals Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins. (Each of these links to Wikipedia opens in separate window.) Taking nicotine and alcohol into the body over time reduces the levels of these as well as other 'happy chemicals'.JAS is thus the physical 'origin' or cause of joy. OJAS is the 'stuff' that the body's inner intelligence creates to make 'happy molecules' in our mind-body system.
