Re: How's your Sex Life?/ endorphins

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI to the group, I am missing an unknown number of posts (including

my own) from the other day.

Because mycotoxins can and do affect multiple systems including our

neurological and endocrine systems, a number of physiological functions become

altered. There are many complex aspects to our sexual drive.

In regard to endorphins these are neurotransmitters along with, dopamine and

serotonin etc. which are produced in the brain that are responsible for our

feelings of well-being. In depression these neurotransmitters are not

functioning properly. Serotonin is especially related to depression which is

why a

popular type of anti-depressant drugs are called SSRI's having to do with

serotonin reuptake. Endorphins are the bodies natural opiates and are related

to reducing physical pain and feeling good. The runners high for joggers

that we hear about is for real because physical exercise will increase

endorphin levels. Laughing will also increase this. Studies show that

acupuncture is

effective because it stimulates the neurotransmitters especially endorphins.

Some studies have shown that being out in nature increases endorphin levels.

So yes, get lots of exercise, walk every day, do yoga and tai-qi and

anything healthy that can also get us laughing again to boost our endorphins.

Stay

away from excessive amounts of alcohol and or narcotics which will initially

increase neurotransmitters only to eventually end up depleting them and

causing long term problems.

Good post, also people in winter let the sun in to help with

depression. I let the sun shine in and it also warms thing up a bit

since my inlaws keep the heat at 55. Can't wait for my move at the end

of month. Yeaaa,
