Endorphins (C77H120N18O26S) are a group of peptides that are produced by your pituitary gland and central nervous system and that act on the opiate receptors in your brain. These neurotransmitters (also sometimes thought of as hormones) act to increase feelings of pleasure and well-being and also to reduce pain and discomfort.

Function: Endorphins act as analgesics, which means they diminish the perception of pain. They also act as sedatives. They are manufactured in your brain, spinal cord, and many other parts of your body and are released in response to brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.

How to increase Endorphins:

1. Exercise.
2. Sexual Intercourse.
3. Create or Listen to Music.
4. Create Art.
5. Dance.
6. Laugh
7. Chocolate.
