HAYWARD, Calif. - Californer -- Endorphins: the "feel good" chemicals for Healthy Lifestyle

Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, An Ayurvedic Physician,  Researcher, Author, Hayward, CA USA

The term "endorphin" is derived from two words: "endogenous," meaning within the body and "morphine," an opiate pain-relieving drug.
Endorphins are neurotransmitters released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in the brain. As natural hormones, they can alleviate pain, lower stress, improve mood, and enhance your sense of well-being. The body releases endorphins when you do pleasurable activities such as eating, exercise, and sex, etc.

Types of Endorphins

The human body produces over 20 types of endorphins, each with specific functions. Among these, beta-endorphins stand out as particularly potent stress and pain relievers, surpassing even the powerful effects of morphine.

Function of Endorphins

When you experience pain or stress, pain signals travel through the nerves to your brain, which release endorphins to block nerve cells from receiving the pain signals. This mechanism acts as a pain-relieving switch, enabling you to continue functioning even in challenging and stressful circumstances. Because, naturally, we evolve to avoid pain and do something that makes us feel good.
