The feeling of satisfaction and makes us feel better, "she added.

Cooking - "In the act of cooking we activate several senses simultaneously and emphasize the sense of smell and taste. These senses are connected to our sense of pleasure. The aromas of cooking and taste aromas calm us physiologically and mentally. The act of cooking is like a creation that increases dopamine levels in the body," she notes. Shapira.

Another matter is cooking for others.

"When we cook for others we feel a sense of contribution and giving, especially as we see that the guests enjoy the meal we have prepared."

Music - "One of the most popular methods of calming the body is to listen to different sounds. Listening to music causes the release of negative energies such as anger, sadness and stress. The energy from the music penetrates our bodies and makes us feel much better, "she concluded.
