Endorphin, makes a change in your life..!



Endorphins, what are they?
Endorphins are the body’s natural feel good chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your mood is boosted naturally. Exercise also releases adrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine, these chemicals work together to make you feel good.

Most of the time you must have come across yourself taking a break while facing any exams (students especially) or you must have seen people taking off from exercise if they seem very busy. What surprises me is people don’t find 25-30 mins of time for workout in 24hrs for themselves and later keep complaining of obesity and joint problems.

I would like to emphasis on exercise more when you require it most, well you are required to do exercise everyday but it helps more during your exams or any particular stress period. Endorphin is the hormone which gets released when you do exercise and helps you to concentrate more in your studies, so 30 mins of fitness during exams or during any festival where you require more energy is must with no option to think on it.

Cortisol hormone is stress hormone or which causes major damage to internal systems, Endorphins counteract it.

Physical exercise helps to counteract the withdrawal, inactivity and feelings of hopelessness that characterize depression. Studies show that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise (exercise which does not require oxygen, such as weightlifting, sprinting) has anti-depressive effects.
So students, IT professionals (who think they are busy:-)) make yourself aware of the facts about some reality and get engaged for 30 mins with fitness program to perform much better (academics or professional work) than you could ever perform.
