Kindness releases neurochemicals: Dopamine, Oxytocin, and Serotonin Mystic

The science for true kindness is quite clear,
An act of kindness is more than just dear,
Good medicine for all, both far and near.

Smile at a stranger and say something kind;
It’s more than just changing a heart and mind,
You too will feel better, this you will find.

It lowers cortisol and blood pressure too;
Kindness does great things for me and you,
Increase your own mental health, it is true.

We can reduce stress and build self-esteem,
Giver and receiver living the dream,
Step right up and join the kindness team.

I thought I would go with "the science"...as a retired science teacher I thought it appropriate.
