Exercise is a fantastic way to boost your mood and overall well-being. One of the key ways it achieves this is by triggering the release of endorphins.
Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by the brain that have pain-relieving and mood-elevating effects. They interact with the brain's opioid receptors, producing feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and reduced stress.
When you engage in physical activity, especially aerobic exercise like running, swimming, or cycling, your body releases endorphins. This can lead to a euphoric feeling often referred to as "runner's high."
