Endorphins

Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by the body that act as neurotransmitters. They are often referred to as "feel-good" chemicals because they can induce feelings of pleasure and reduce pain perception. Endorphins are released in response to various activities, including exercise, laughter, stress reduction techniques, and certain foods. The release of endorphins can lead to improved mood and a sense of well-being, making them beneficial in managing stress and promoting emotional health.
