Exercise for Happiness? – The Neuroscience Findings:

The Natural High

Natural neurochemicals or illegal street drugs? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Exercise causes your brain to release endorphins, neurotransmitters that act on your neurons like opiates (such as morphine or Vicodin) by sending a neural signal to reduce pain and provide anxiety relief. Exercise causes your brain to release endorphins, and these changes correlate with improving people’s mood. 

Endorphin release is the highest during intense exercise. Motivation and decision making, planning and thinking, reduced pain perception, focus, and depression reduction, are all areas improved by exercise.

Other positive impacts of exercise include:

• Increases brain functioning
• Promotes slower cognitive decline
• Improves attention, concentration, learning and memory functions
• Exercise helps to create new brain cells (neurogenesis) in the areas of the brain which are known to shrink when people have mood problems. This is the case even in older adults, that mental wellbeing in later life can be improved through physical exercise
• More active brains, better mental skills and better memory
• Increased brain density
• A positive emotional outlet and reduces emotional distress
• Assists emotion management and self-control
• Improves sleep patterns (reduces REM sleep. So, exercise, sleep more deeply, feel happier and more energetic, want to exercise more, rinse, repeat
• Reducing symptoms of stress, anger, anxiety, mistrust, depression and dissociation (strong feelings of disconnection from reality; dissociation is often experienced after suffering a trauma)
• Confidence, self-esteem and a positive self-image; qualities which are transferrable to personal, academic and professional settings
• Improves willpower, impulse control and patience
• Increased energy levels and vitality
• Improves your appetite, leading to more enjoyable eating and better health
• Makes you mentally sharper and better at planning and decision making
• Socially – exercise helps to bring you out into the world, and overcome social isolation
• Just as exercise strengthens your muscles, it also strengthens your brain. Exercise increases nerve growth factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which are like steroids for your brain. BDNF makes your brain stronger, so it’s more resistant to all kinds of problems, not only depression.
• Greater development of new neurons in the hippocampus (part of the brain)
• Exercise elevates serotonin levels, which increases mood, motivation and willpower
• Importantly, serotonin and BDNF are particularly good at creating an upward spiral against depression, because serotonin stimulates the production of BDNF, and BDNF strengthens serotonin neurons. Exercise sets the snowball in motion, and the brain’s dynamic interactions keep it going
• The dopamine system is positively affected by exercise, and dopamine production causes feelings of pleasure and increased willpower
• Reduces stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) and depression, and improves physical health and social relationships
• A deterrent from boredom and harmful or wasteful activities
• Exercise is important for a healthy heart, reducing high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, preventing obesity, and developing strong bones and muscles. Personal training is an excellent method for bolstering these areas of health. In addition to these multifaceted benefits, personal training helps people to feel both psychologically and physically strong, fit and well.

We also know that physical exercise changes the biochemistry of the body-brain, which changes moods and emotions, as well as promoting better cardio-vascular health, and oxygenation of the whole system (Dr Jim Byrne).
