Endorphins are produced by our bodies and can alleviate pain, lower stress, and improve mood. That can be useful for those of us not particularly enjoying Dry January. How can we increase our endorphin output, you might ask. Well, consider exercise, acupuncture, meditation, aroma therapy, sex, dark chocolate, laughing with friends, watching a dramatic movie, doing a random act of kindness, making music, getting some sun, getting a massage, taking a hot bath, trying a new sport, eating spicy foods, watching a funny movie, trying dopamine supplements, making time to play, or enjoying a sauna. Warning! Buzzed Boomers, many of these could be hazardous to your health. Your doctor should come to your house to supervise these activities before attempting.
