Also
referred to as ‘hormones of happiness’ endorphins are produced by the brain,
inducing feelings of euphoria, boosting the body’s immune system, improving
human relationships, reducing the feeling of pain, etc. Similarly to the
effects produced by corticosteroids and morphine, is considered to be ‘the
happiness drug’.
Its
production is stimulated by exercise, sexual relations, successfully completed
work, music, art, the sciences and activities that involve creativity.
A
number of studies have shown that when humans and animals play together levels
of endorphins are increased in both of them. Visual gestures of love also cause
them to segregate, including the video of this pair of otters holding hands
whilst sleeping so that they don’t lose one another. An example of love for
everyone.
