Endorphins

Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by your brain that help regulate pain and enhance feelings of pleasure or well-being. Often released during activities like exercise, laughter, or even eating certain foods, they act as your body's own painkillers and mood boosters. Endorphins bind to receptors in your brain, reducing discomfort and promoting a sense of happiness or calm. This process is part of your body's natural way to cope with stress or pain while encouraging positive behaviors. In short, endorphins are your body's built-in "feel-good" chemicals that support mental and physical resilience.
