Through this exercise students learn the influence of food on our brain. They also learn what to do to feel good, which things negatively affect our mood, what is good to know, which bio ingredients make us happy (serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, noradrenalin, endorphins and neuropeptides) and in which way and what types of food encourage their formation.

In the Annex you will find some of the proposals regarding the food which boosts our mood.
The trainer/teacher can use them during classes or course and motivate students to draw up a daily or even a weekly “Happy Mood Menu”.
To this end, students/participant may also create their own culinary brand name and make their own booklet containing recipes and menus.
