I found this site that talks about all the ways in which we can release endorphines. Endorphins are released by overexposure to light, among other things such as having a sugar rush. Did you know that chocolate sweetended by aspartame may produce more endorphins than chocolate sweetened with sugar. Endorphins are released by stress, laughter, sexual activity, exercise, even pain from spicy foods.
The article also talks about ways to massage parts of the body to stimulate nerve endings, the effects of endorphins, how Autistic individuals have problems with reaching the same feeling from endorphins like we do because of a blockage. Also, it talks about the levels of endorphins, how it increases dopamine levels and decreases serotonin levels.
Check out this page and see if you can think of any other ways to make a person high on life off endorphines? and what you thought about it.

It is really funny that you have this blog—I was commenting on how tanning is addictive-because of endorphins—Reeve 2009 states that endorphins are inhibitors of pain, anxiety, and fear by generating good feelings to counter these negative feelings.
I find it extremely interesting that you can be addicting to such a thing—I guess I hadn’t put much thought into it but it definitely make sense.
