Answer: Endorphins

Explanation: Endorphins are chemicals secreted by the brain also known as neurotransmitters that send electrical signals inside the nervous systems.

The factors that initiate the secretion of endorphins are stress and pain.

When endorphins are secreted they reduce feelings of pains, and in runners that cause a phenomenon called " Runners high" which allows runners to keep running without feeling pain or stress.

What is one item vegetarians can eat to get their protein
Ilya [14]
The easiest (and possibly tastiest) answer is nuts.  All varieties of nuts: almonds, peanuts, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts – you name it.  And for those of you who like it smooth, peanut butter is an excellent source of protein with 4 grams per tablespoon.  Watch the salt though: the USDA recommends choosing unsalted nuts to keep the sodium intake low.

is this True or false do regular heavy drinkers usually have to drink more and more in order to have the same effect
Zigmanuir [339]
Yes, that is 100% true that the<span> regular heavy drinkers usually have to drink more and more in order to have the same effect.

The reason is that when they drink regularly, their brain gets used to the alcohol and it doesn't have any effect at that certain amount which they intake. So when they feel that taking that much amount of alcohol does feel them good, they drink more and more and there comes a stage when alcohol doesn't have any effect on them.</span>
