Happy substances (organic chemistry) essentially explain why some people, despite being immensely wealthy, often feel listless all day long, while others, who are constantly busy with daily life, remain full of vigor and vitality. Everyone experiences emotional highs and lows. But have you ever wondered what is behind the control of these emotions? All of this is determined by three types of neurotransmitters between the body's nerve cells. They are dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.
Men need dopamine, a neurotransmitter that nerve cells use to communicate with each other. In other words, it is a means of communication and information transmission between nerves. Different nerve cells can use different neurotransmitters.
What is dopamine? It is a neurochemical that can generate energy and drive, not only influencing people's behavior but also involved in the process of love, stimulating feelings of attraction towards the opposite sex. Additionally, dopamine has a crucial role in our physical health and is also associated with pleasure and a sense of achievement. When we experience something fresh, stimulating, or challenging, dopamine is secreted in the brain.
Endorphins are hormones that make people feel happy. To alleviate worry and anxiety, it is essential to get the help of this hormone. To regularly secrete endorphins, it's best to live with laughter and joy. It's a life principle that secretes the happy hormone endorphins to ease pain. Like serotonin, endorphins are secreted when necessary and reduced when not. If the production gene for endorphins becomes numb and unresponsive, it's impossible to feel joy and happiness. Therefore, the way to be completely liberated from depression is to make the living environment always meet the needs of endorphins and serotonin. Nowadays, there's a trendy phrase, "Inviting someone to eat is not as good as inviting them to sweat," which refers to physical exercise.
Walking is the most beloved form of exercise for adults. When walking, the brain is in an active state, and three endorphin compounds known as "beautiful male hormones" almost simultaneously come into play. After 15 minutes of walking, the secreted endorphins are like a strong heart tonic, putting the brain in an excited state, subconsciously always thinking about "happy" things. The subsequent increase in dopamine secretion causes these thoughts to gradually expand and take shape. Dopamine, known as the "hormone of hope," brings people ideals, hopes, and expectations, so at this moment, continuous thoughts like "I want to do this," "I want that" emerge in the mind. Finally, the secretion of serotonin calms this heightened mood, causing one to consider how to achieve these desires and ideals.
