Two chemicals that make this possible is phenylethylamine or the love drug and tryptophan that trigger serotonin. It is called the love drug because phenylethylamine induces the same arousing feelings of when a person falls in love. While serotonin plays a bigger role with mood especially between happiness and anxiety.

Endorphins are chemicals discharged from eating that lowers the level of stress in a person including pain. Similar to the chemical found in cannabis, anandamide helps discharge of dopamine that brings about a high feeling to the consumer.
