Physical exercise can help you change your mood; it is a proven scientific fact!

During physical exercise our body creates substances that can change our mood. These substances are natural and healthier than any medication taken in an effort to change mood. Thirty minutes exercise per day can have a positive change on our physiological condition.

After physical training, phenyl ethylamine as well as one of its derivative s resulting after enzymatic decomposition, the phenyl acetic acid is increased significantly in the blood. The increase in this substance is beneficial for us. This substance is circulated throughout the body and acts on our brain. The result is a change in our mood, stimulation of our psychology, an increase in our confidence and generally gives us a feeling of happiness - that after workout “pump”!

The chemical structure of these substances is very similar to that of amphetamines. Amphetamines are substances that are not produced by the body, but can be taken as oral medications and they have a stimulating action in the body. They create an artificial and harmful hyper stimulation, and false self-confidence in the people who use them.

Our body during physical exercises naturally produces these substances in quantities suitable and appropriate for each individuals body and according to our body characteristics. This phenyl ethylamine is known to have an antidepressant effect and this probably explains the beneficial effects of physical training on our mood.

Regular physical exercise, which may be of moderate intensity or longer if our physical condition allows us, has many positive effects:

• It changes our mood and makes us feel better
• We feel happier, with improved self-confidence
• It is a very good weapon against depression
• Helps in improving our intellectual skills and clarity.
• It helps us to overcome from various psychiatric diseases.
• And let us not forget it is very good for our heart, lung and circulatory system
• We are also making ourselves look better in the mirror and therefore happier!
