The Running Sensation called ‘Runner’s high’ offers the same effects as marijuana
That relaxed & feel good sensation you get known as runner’s high is much closer to how you feel after having marijuana than you think, as suggested by researchers, the endorphins get undeserved credit for this wave of euphoria.
(...)
Researchers from the Central Institute of Mental Health of the University of Heidelberg found other compounds which may lead to the runner’s high called endocannabinoids. After an intense and long run, our body produces beta-endorphin called opioid as well as anandamide called endocannabinoid as per the scientists. Just one is small enough to reach the brains receptors. And it’s not the endorphins.
Endocannabinoids aren’t naturally produced in the body. But it is a molecule found in marijuana or cannabis. Studies have shown its numbers spike after long training sessions & intensive exercise. This is what made them take the study forward. Researchers started experimenting on mice by watching them while they run on a wheel.
They suggested that the rodents were feeling something like runner’s high that is the reason they found it nice to run. It is unlikely that they cared about their health or were trying to lose weight. In mice, decreased and calm anxiousness is expressed by their behavior. After they run, the chances of them spending time in well-lit areas increases whereas the nervous rodents usually stick to the dark.
Even though endocannabinoids and endorphins spiked, researchers had artificially cancelled out effects of each of them. When they had blocked the endorphin effect, nothing changed. But when they blocked endocannabinoids, the high disappeared completely and the rodents weren’t relaxed or calm anymore.
