Get High Naturally Without Drugs

Many people who engage in sustained moderate or high intensity exercise experience "runners high."

It is described as a feeling of euphoria that occurs during or right after exercise.

There is not total agreement about the reaction in the body that is responsible for causing this feeling of euphoria. A long-held theory is that "runners high" is caused by endorphins that are generated by intensive exercise. These endorphins are neurotransmitters that act by binding to the same cell receptors as drugs like morphine or heroin. In this manner they act as natural pain killers and mood enhancers.

Exercise also increases levels of other neurotransmitters that impact mood. In addition exercise causes the production of endocannabinoids. These compounds are related to cannabis, better known as marijuana, and can be thought of as a natural marijuana generated by your own body when you exercise. In other words you can do something that is totally legal and healthy with the added benefit that you can get high naturally.

There is no agreement regarding how intense you must exercise to activate the pleasure reward center in the brain. In fact some researchers suggest that only moderate exercise boosts endocannabinoids. It is also important to point out that not everyone who exercises, no matter how hard they work out experience this natural high.

Nevertheless even if you do not experience this classic runners high exercise generally makes you feel better and can improve your mood as well as help you to sleep better. Our advice to you is to begin an exercise program You will never regret taking this first step to a longer and healthier life.

Is Your Heart Rate Too Fast?

Do you ever wonder if your heart rate is normal? This topic probably has been discussed with you by your physician, but if it has not here are a few tips. The normal resting heart rate should be in the range of 60 to 80 beats a minute. Some authorities extend this 50 to 100 beats per minute. This number varies from person to person and over the course of the day for the same person.

In general a slower heart rate is healthier than a faster heart rate. If your heart rate is faster than necessary for good health excessive stress is put on your entire circulatory system. In fact recent research has documented an increased risk of heart disease and premature death in people who have faster resting heart rates.

A Danish study published recently in the journal Heart reported that for every 10 beats per minute increase over 50 in resting heart rate there was a 16% increase in death. The authors concluded that in healthy subjects an elevated resting heart rate is not merely a marker of poor general fitness but an independent risk factor. Other researchers have suggested that the resting heart rate may be a better predictor of premature death than cholesterol and blood pressure.

The take away message is that if your resting heart rate is at the high end of normal you should consult with your physician. If you are physically fit there may be nothing that you can do about it. If you are in poor physical condition a good exercise program may help slow your heart down. An excellent wellness program is found in our book TriEnergetics.
