The endogenous opioids (endorphins) idea thread.

As, during my recovery, I am trying to find every way possible to boost my endogenous opioids, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on things you can do to help your body produce its natural endorphins.

I'll start off with: Exercising, a lot.

Believe it or not, certain types of meditation release endorphins. As one article put it:

"Meditation stimulates the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, thus releasing endorphins. Meditation also increases production of serotonin, dopamine and melatonin, all related to positive moods, happiness and relaxation."

Peace
