Do endorphins help in healing?
My short answer: Do endorphins help in healing? 1) They may mask pain which protects the healing wound from unnecessary prodding and scratching by the wounded person. 2) They may facilitate the healing action performed by and to the skin's epithelial cells. 3) Some reports claim that endorphins can be generated by the skin cells in the vicinity of the wound. My long answer: Gentle disclaimer: I am a lay person with an interest in the physiology of endorphins. Please take everything I write here with skepticism. I rely only on websites posted by universities or on peer-reviewed scientific journals. Still, my information may be muddled since I am not a scientist. Hopefully, my answers may point you to a line of inquiry that you yourself can validate elsewhere. Endorphins are complex proteins with the ability to reduce pain and invoke a sense of well-being. Scientists have noticed that endorphins are found in fairly high concentrations at the site of a wound. This cannot be random, since endorphins degrade very rapidly. For them to remain at a wound site means the body is constantly sending new endorphins to that area. 1) Clearly, nature uses endorphins to soothe pain. The only other substance that soothes pain as well is morphine (or other opioids). Why would nature see the need to soothe that pain? Maybe to prevent undue touching/scratching/picking at the site of healing. (Think about this in the context of our caveman days and the explanation makes good sense). 2) Recently, scientists have found that endorphins play a role in the growth of epithelial cells. Those are the live cells that underly our inanimate surface cells. Some scientists have compared epidermis cells to stem cells in their ability to morph into whatever is needed by the body. My guess is that endorphins either assist in the transformation of epithelial cells into healed skin or scar tissue. Or perhaps endorphins aid in the generation of healthy new skin cells. Endorphin molecules are attacked by the body's own enzymes soon after release. These enzymes chemically break the endorphin's long molecular chain into shorter segments. I have read that these fragments of endorphins can then attach themselves to entirely different neuroreceptors. Sounds like science fiction, but these broken fragments may play a different role than the intact endorphin molecules did. Because endorphins have a fairly short life (minutes or perhaps hours), it's surprising that they stay around wound sites.The body apparently sends new endorphins to replenish the old ones throughout the healing process. 3) Only recently, I found a report that claims that skin cells can actually create endorphins. This idea strains credibility, to my limited knowledge. Endorphins are some of the body's most intricately complex molecules. The idea that simple skin cells could produce them seems far-fetched. Most medical literature I've read shows that the pituitary gland produces endorphins for the central nervous system and the intestines produce endorphins for the enteric nervous system. Still, if it turns out that skin cells can also produce endorphins, then that's relevant to your question about healing. The skin would, in effect, be producing what it needs to heal itself, rather than passively waiting for one of the two nervous systems to take note and dispatch aid to the site. On a personal note, I intuit some sort of important relationship between endorphins and the epithelial cells in the skin. The evidence of this is found in people who distress their skin for dimly understood reasons (self-cutters, suntanners, tattoo devotees, nail-biters, piercers). Maybe their curious interest in mild or severe distress to their skin is a way of tricking nature into releasing endorphins. Who knows?
Is beta-endorphin an illegal narcotic?
No, beta-endorphins are natural hormones secreted by the pituitary gland that act as a powerful pain suppressant. They're the reason why people don't immediately feel the pain of severe trauma, such as losing a limb. What you are thinking of are opiates(eg. heroin), which attach themselves to the same receptors in the brain as beta-endorphins do. Those are illegal.
What Claim Walking is not only good for the cardiovascular system but has other benefits that sharpen the mind for both young and old people. Which piece of evidence would you suggest the?
endorphins released during walking build brain cells and make people feel good
Does the human brain produces its own natural opiates that elevate mood and ease pain?
Yes, they're called "endorphins". There is currently much research going on to see if they can be voluntarily brought to bear by people who suffer from chronic pain, as one example.
Does marijuana contain endorphins?
I heard this, and I'm still trying to research and understand this, so don't take my word into too much consideration. It makes a ton of sense to me though, even without rock-solid facts. So here's the easiest way to explain. So everybody that has done it tells you it feels "amazing" or "the best feeling ever", well this can simply make other things less appealing. Looking at my old friends who use it heavily, that's definitely true. Like just think about it, it's common sense. If you had to eat your least favorite food for a month straight, then after the month you were given the option to choose between your favorite food or your least favorite, why go back to your least favorite food when you could have something better? Now in deeper terms to what it does (in theory), it releases an abnormally large amount of endorphins into your brain and if done on a regular basis, your mind will get used to the large endorphin levels making the normal amounts of endorphins released from normal activities (working out, accomplishing something, etc) less appealing, so basically it can make you feel unmotivated and lazy, and eventually with further use, sad and depressed if you aren't stoned. This could be reversed by quitting smoking, but then again it could be permanent. So this can be pretty harmful to somebody's life, I know with my lifestyle I need every little bit of motivation I have. But overall if you can control yourself, and use weed in moderation, there might not be any long term effects.

Why is volleyball interesting?
Volleyball is a great sport because first of all, you can burn down fat and exercise while you're at it. It also stretches your muscles so you can get stronger. That doesn't mean it's a hard sport. You just have to learn how to play and have fun most of all.

Use Moderate Exercise to Alleviate Depression?
Many people who suffer from depression can benefit from an age old cure. Simply getting the body up and moving helps to increase blood circulation to the brain and encourages the release of endorphins. Endorphins are powerful chemicals that the body produces which can mimic the effects of a mild dose of morphine. Because of this, people who are physically active for at least thirty minutes each day tend to be calmer and less-stressed than those who do not.
Why are men moody when they lose lots of weight but nothings wrong with them?
Lack of nutrition, probably. If it is not a healthy diet, the loss of nutrition, vitamins, and minerals, can and will cause mood swings, even in men. However, exercising will release endorphins. Endorphins are what causes you to be happy or in a good mood. Happy people aren't moody.
Why should people eat candy?
