How to increase oxytocin for happiness: Life is not easy. Sometimes there are occasions of happiness and sometimes of sadness. Nowadays, since people have gone digital and lifestyle has changed, most people have started to remain upset and depressed. When negative emotions increase, it starts affecting mental health. In such a situation, there is a dire need to increase a hormone called oxytocin in the body.

What is the oxytocin hormone?
Psychiatrist Priyanka Srivastava says that the oxytocin hormone is a love hormone. It is also called the cuddling hormone. This hormone increases positive emotions, social bonding, and trust. If a person is under stress, then a stress hormone called cortisol is released in his body, which surrounds him with anxiety and depression, but if the level of oxytocin hormone increases in the body, then anxiety reduces, stress goes away and the person feels happy, calm and positive. There are many ways to increase it. Being intimate with a partner
When a person touches, kisses, or hugs his partner, the level of this hormone increases. Not only this, but if the partner helps his partner with household chores, talks to them, and spends time with them, then also this happens. A similar feeling is felt when the partner says I love you.

Playing with pets
Pets are not animals for people but are members of their families. It has been clearly stated in many researches that pets keep the owner away from stress. The reason behind this is the oxytocin hormone. When a person plays with pets, cuddles them in his lap, talks to them, then oxytocin is released and problems related to mental health are kept away.

Talking by looking into the eyes
Oxytocin hormone increases trust. In such a situation, if a person talks while looking into each other's eyes, listens to everything carefully, thinks deeply about things or even says thanks, the face brightens up because these things give respect and love to the other person and hence oxytocin increases.
