Best short term method to control stress?

intense release of endorphins for 30 seconds


Endorphins are produced throughout your body and requested by the hypothalamus, but what else besides stress and pain triggers the release of endorphins?

Exercise -- The "runner's high" really exists, but you'll need to work for it. Heavy weightlifting or intense aerobic activity that includes periods of sprinting or increased exertion will trigger the greatest response.

Meditation or controlled-breathing exercises -- Tai chi, Pilates and yoga are believed to trigger endorphins.

Childbirth -- Giving birth to a child is clearly a subcategory of both pain and stress.

Alcohol -- Light to moderate drinking stimulates endorphins, but heavy drinking doesn't. Drugs that block the attachment of endorphins to receptors have been shown to eliminate cravings in alcoholics.

Chili peppers -- Capsaicin, which puts the burn in chilies, also triggers the body to release some fire-quenching endorphins.

Bodywork -- Both acupuncture and massage therapy trigger your inner drug dealer.

Ultraviolet light -- This may explain why some users of tanning beds achieve something of a "runner's high," and why others may overuse them at the risk of their health [source: Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center].

These 6 simple options release the feel good effects of endorphins and are accessible to all of us in Toronto!

Pet your Pet- it has been scientifically proven that feeling the warmth and trust of animals increased activity in the pleasure centre of the brain. There is also concrete evidence that endorphin production sky rocketed with this form of pet therapy (which is implemented in local facilities such as Sick Kid's Hospital and nursing homes. If you do not have a pet you can always volunteer as a dog walker with City of Toronto Animal Services and indulge in the comforting love of animals.

Practice Yoga & Cardio- Tons of one time or membership based yoga classes are offered throughout the city and a full directory of various genres and pricing can be found at Yoga Toronto. Yoga focuses on slower breathing to decrease rapid heart rates due to anxiety and soothe tense muscles while freeing negative energy from the body and mind. Ironically, increased heart rate caused by cardio exercises instead of stress releases the most intense endorphin response!
Meditation-does not have to be a complex or corny form of relaxation; meditation exists in many forms unique to every individual. If you cannot achieve the physiological response of controlled endorphin release, soothe your mind by thinking of all that makes you smile- take yourself away to an individually defined happy place and nurture your soul.

Eat Spicy foods- Strangely, spicy foods such as hot chili peppers and wasabi release endorphins from the brain for the body processes these spicy sensations as pain! Sudden pain and shock is numbed by the release of endorphins. Some of you may know the sedated state of extreme endorphin release when the body responds to a broken digit or deep cut. Eating a dollop of wasabi can in fact switch the gears of your building anxiety to neutral in a heated arguement or state of rage.

Make love- A healthy sex life which involves physical and emotional release between you and your partner keeps steady endorphin levels flowing through your body and keeps the pleasure centre of the brain from accumulating cobwebs!

Be a thrill seeker- Adrenaline releases endorphins and a sudden fright such as that of a scary movie enables people to forget any other lurking anxieties and troubles of the mind. Thus adrenaline junkies always crave the thrill factor because emotional well being is a healthy addiction- just remember to balance safety with happiness! Canada's Wonderland which is open from late spring to early fall will satisfy all of your adrenaline seeking needs.
