Top 5 Recipes For International Happiness Day

International Happiness Day is celebrated worldwide on 20 March. The day was created by the United Nations as a way to celebrate the human right to be happy. It was first celebrated in 2013 as a way to pivot world leaders' attention to focus not only on economic growth but also increasing human wellbeing and happiness within their countries, too.

Why Do We Celebrate International Happiness Day?

Decadent Meals To Help Your Happiness Levels

Associate Professor Tamlin Conner, from the Department of Psychology at University of Otago, said, “In my research, I have found that the relationship between fruits and vegetables, and the practice of eating ‘5-a-day’ and happiness is fairly strong.
