The physiological effect of endorphins released during exercise leads to a feeling of euphoria often referred to as the "runner's high." These natural chemicals bind to receptors in the brain, reducing perceptions of pain and promoting feelings of well-being. Increased endorphin levels can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, contributing to improved mental health. This effect becomes particularly important as individuals engage regularly in physical activity, making exercise a potent tool for enhancing overall emotional and psychological resilience.
