Vitamin P is Essential For Health : Many vitamins are needed to make the body healthy. When one is unwell, sometimes there is a deficiency of Vitamin B and sometimes Vitamin D. But do you know that the most important among all these is Vitamin P, which is extremely important for your healthy body. 

What is Vitamin P : Ask anyone, from children to elders, what is their favourite food and you will get the answer instantly. Some like veg and some like non-veg. Do not hesitate in telling your choice because the happiness derived from it is beyond limits. In fact, for most of us, food is one of the biggest pleasures of life. But do you know that the food that makes your mood perfect is rich in Vitamin P!

What is Vitamin P?

Now what is this vitamin P? Something that reaches your stomach from your plate and satisfies your soul. Here 'P' stands for 'pleasure'. If you are happy, your stomach is happy and if it is happy, your health is happy. For years, researchers have researched the science behind eating for happiness. Their conclusions are interesting and quite encouraging.

What came out in the research

Food satisfies both our tongue and brain. There is a research from 2011 on the effect of dopamine on health. Dopamine is known as the 'feel good hormone' because it triggers those wires of the brain that help in promoting happiness, peace, motivation and attention. This research revealed that the dopamine of people suffering from obesity does not work properly and hence they overeat and become obese due to overeating. But if it works properly, it has a positive effect on health. When we eat food to enjoy it, dopamine becomes active. This gives us the feeling of happiness, which helps in digesting food easily. 

It is important to eat food happily

A 2020 review (published in NLM) of 119 studies on the relationship between food enjoyment and healthy diets found a strong correlation between the results of food enjoyment and healthy diets. For example, a 2015 study linked greater pleasure in eating with higher nutritional status. Some studies emphasize the importance of enjoying a healthy diet to promote a nutritious, balanced diet.

Santosham Param Sukham

There is a great Sanskrit saying - Santosham Param Sukham. In the context of food, when we eat what makes us happy, our level of satisfaction increases. The quality of our diet improves and we are less likely to overeat.
