"Runner's Ecstasy"... What is the secret to your feeling of happiness after jogging?

- Have you ever wondered about the secret of the comfort and improved mood that surrounds you after running? This feeling is known as “runner’s high,” or “Runner’s High,” according to what the Lebanese doctor, Nisreen Makarem, said in an interview with the Ofoq News website in Arabic.

Over the years, it has been associated with the release of endorphins during exercise, but the truth is that other substances called “endocannabinoids” are also behind it. Makarem, a specialist in family and lifestyle medicine, explained: “The body produces these substances naturally, and they work inside the brain to regulate mood, stress, pain, and sleep, and have an effect similar to some of the compounds found in marijuana.”

While some people think that being happy requires running at full speed, a moderate, sustained pace is often enough to achieve the best result.
