Eating curry makes you happier, claims consumer survey
Eating a takeaway curry will make you 83% happier, while a plate of fish and chips will only make you 18% happier, according to research by online takeaway platform Lieferando.
A survey of 2,168 takeaway consumers worldwide found the Indian dish raised peoples’ moods the most from the 11 options available to them – up 118 points on the Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS).
The results followed research from the University of California, Los Angeles that found that vibrant spices in foods like turmeric can boost your mood.
Second and third place
Sushi placed second with a reported 73% increase in happiness reported by respondents, while burgers took third place with a 70% increase in happiness.
