Endorphins
December 20th 2008 07:19
Endorphins are the chemicals present in brain that have a ‘feel good’ effect. These are natural opiates produced in the brain that have an analgesic effect on the human body. In fact, when the endorphin levels are raised in the blood stream it creates a feeling of ‘feel good’. When these hormones are produced in the body they have a natural health benefit – they reduce stress, help in tolerating pain, boost the immune system, delay ageing process and help fight food cravings. They are produced in the body by various activities such as exercise, meditation, laughter and eating some foods such as chocolates and Chilli Peppers.
