I was reading a funny article on how to get a “runners High” without actually running. Haha! Studies have shown that exercise releases endorphins in the brain, which in turn cause us to have what is commonly known as a "natural high" You may not realize what caused it, but most of us have felt it. What else causes and endorphin rush?  Well, according to the article, here you go:

1.     Get some exercise. But you don’t actually have to run! Just try to get your heart rate up. The more you exercise the more you will crave that “Rush”. If you don’t like to exercise try to Meditate – Maybe a yoga class.

2.     Laugh. Find the humor in life and you'll get an endorphin rush.

3.     Eat chocolate and chili pepper. Researchers now believe both chocolate and chili pepper tap into the hormones causing a chemical reaction that releases endorphins. Maybe do this after you run!

4.     Visit a massage studio. Acupuncture also works wonders and encourages endorphin-release.

5.     Get adjusted! The chiropractic adjustment releases endorphins, which are anti-anxiety, stress relieving, and pain reducing chemicals in the brain. Also, it straightens your immune system!
