Endocannabinoid System: our 12th body system, responsible for maintaining homeostasis of all other body systems. .
Endo-cannabinoids are produced within our bodies, where phyto-cannabinoids we take in from plant sources, like cannabis and hemp. Numerous research has shown both internally and externally sourced cannabinoids are absorbed the same way by our body.
New studies are finding that exercise-induced euphoria, is not from endorphins as we once thought. We’re now seeing that aerobic exercise stimulates the production of an endocannabinoid called anandamide, aka “the bliss molecule.” 🥰✨ That post workout anxiety reduction we feel, that’s our body producing it’s own cannabinoids. 💪🏼💚
🏃♀️A “runner’s high” is actually your endocannabinoid system being stimulated. The same way it’s stimulated when you take in phytocannabinoids.
Ooooh, very interesting!
