ENDORPHINS: REDUCE STRESS AND THE PERCEPTION OF SUFFERING

- Yvonne De Bruin

Nature's high for happiness without pain

It is said that laughter is the best medicine, and indeed when we feel good, the world is a brighter place. Have you noticed how wonderful life is when you are in love, have received an increase, heard some good news or woke up in a great mood? Nothing can go wrong with your day.

These good feelings are a result of a hormone called endorphin being released by the pituitary gland into the body.

Endorphins can also be produced during a workout at the gym, cycling, hiking or a walk in nature.
