Endorphin production

Endorphins are chemicals produced by your brain that act as natural painkillers and mood enhancers. They are released in response to activities like exercise, laughter, or even eating certain foods. When triggered, endorphins bind to specific receptors in your nervous system, reducing feelings of pain and stress while promoting a sense of well-being. This process helps your body manage discomfort and improves your emotional state naturally, contributing to feelings of happiness and relaxation after physical activity or positive social interactions.
