Why running gets you high

BOSTON (UPI) - A new
study indicates regular,
strenuous exercise - like
jogging - may make people
feel good not only because it
Strengthens muscles but
because it increases
production of a morphine-
like substance in the body, it
was reported Wednesday.

The study reported in the
New England Journal of
Medicine focused on en-
dorphins - chemicals found
in one form in the brain and
in another in the blood.

Endorphins found in the
brain can numb pain and
produce a feeling of well-
being. But the function of
blood endorphins and their

relationship with brain
endorphins ts unclear.
They are a_ group of

compounds in animals and
humans that have an effect
similar to morphine. They
were discovered after
research disclosed the how
morphine works in the body

The researchers found
that blood endorphins tn-
creased when women who
hadn't exercised strenuously
before the study ran, rode
bicveles and did calisthenics
Ina training program

Previous studies tested
athletes in one time exercise
sessions

It has been theorized
endorphins in the brain may
cause “yoggers high” the
euphorna of long-distance
runners and their
depression and withdrawal
symptoms when deprived of
cxercise

The doctors at
Massachusetts General
Hospital pul seven women
age 18K to JO through an
exercise program, analyzing
their blood after
and between
periods

The women were normal
moevery way. including their
menstrual penods and had
nol cacroised strenvously for
atleast six months before the
study

The researchers found the
women expenenced a surge
of endorphins and the
chemiual that gives rise to
them known as lpotropins
