Endorphins, the feel-good chemicals, provide benefits to the body.
The word ” endorphin ” comes from two roots: “endogenous” meaning within the body and “morphine” meaning a drug that relieves pain. Endorphins are neurotransmitters produced by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus gland. They are natural hormones that help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance well-being.
