ENDOPHINE (内啡呔-天然兴奋剂)

Every time when I have done some workout like Yoga, dancing, hiking and jogging or skipping, I will have a sense of cheering and rejuvenation and more confidnece.


Here is the main reason -
 
Exercises can trigger the body to generate ENDOPHINE (内啡呔-天然兴奋剂) which is generated in our vertebrate during excercise, laughting and other triggers.


Endorphins ("endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid peptides that function as neurotransmitters.[1] They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise,[2] excitement, pain, consumption of spicy food, love and orgasm,[3][4] and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a feeling of well-being.




Endorphins rush has been adopted in popular speech to refer to feelings of exhilaration brought on by pain, danger, or other forms of stress,[2] supposedly due to the influence of endorphins. When a nerve impulse reaches the spinal cord, endorphins are released which prevent nerve cells from releasing more pain signals. Immediately after injury, endorphins allow animals to feel a sense of power and control over themselves that allows them to persist with activity for an extended time.[citation neede

A routine workout is the best way to get recovery from sickness and depression, the best cure for headache and to regain energy and a necessary process to build stamina and immune system.

Recently, I had contracted gastroparesis and cold. To get a quick strength recovery after the problems gettingdiminished gradually, I went to a hike alone. It usually takes me 1 hours or more to complete with my family together. That time it was a cloudy and looked to rain heavily. Without carrying an umbrella, I'd to stride as quickly as I could to avoid getting wet and catch cold again.

Within less than 50 minute, I completed the shourt journey with unexpected joy and self satisfaction.

I've realise that that routine workout is the best medicine for not only physical wellbeing but mental health. A sound mental health will make people more positive, assuring, content that is key to keep our life going healthly facing the ever changing environments.
