Bad mood is not just something that makes you feel of the “gray skies” above you. This is a mood that weakens your immune system making you susceptible to illnesses. But there are ways on how to boost your mood, your soul and your well-being.

One of the most widely accepted ways on getting over a bad mood is through laughter. It helps to bring about the secretion of endorphins, a substance in our body that provide pain relief. Laughter also enhances our immune system, protecting us from diseases.

Europeans make use of amino acid supplement known as SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-Methaonine), which is extracted from methionine, an amino acid that is responsible for the production of feel-good hormones, serotonin and dopamine.

Another method of lifting one’s mood is touch. Studies confirmed that recovery is faster in patients who are regularly touched than to those who are not.

There are also exercises that are recommended to bring good mood. These are knee bends, push-ups, rowing and weight training.

Deep breathing exercises are also beneficial in alleviating the mood. 70% of body wastes and toxins are removed from our body through our respiratory system.

Aromatherapy is another way of getting our moods lifted. This is based on the fact that when we stimulate our olfactory nerves, we actually activate the limbic system in our brain, which is related with our mood and memory.

Finally, flowers. Mood is greatly influenced by colorful flowers. That is a reason why flowers are customary get-well gesticulation.
