What role do endorphins play in pain management and stress response?
Endorphins stimulate appetite during periods of intense physical activity or emotional distress.
Endorphins initiate an inflammatory response to heal damaged tissues following injuries or infections.
Endorphins minimize perceptions of pain and counteract stress effects by promoting feelings of pleasure or euphoria.
Endorphins slow down heart rate and other physiological functions during sleep cycles.
