Love Those Endorphins, Don’t You

I love endorphins. Hey, I confess. If you gotta be addicted to something, why not something good for you, right?
Endorphins are the body's natural pain medication hormones. Endorphins (en-dor-fins), when they're released, make us feel better, improve our mood, increase pleasure, and minimize pain. There are some good ways, and bad ways, to increase endorphins.
Low endorphin levels make us crave fat
Nan Allison in her excellent book Full & Fulfilled describes the relationship between endorphins, food, and exercise. By permission, Nan Allison, M.S., RD writes:
High concentrations of endorphins in the brain produce a sense of euphoria, enhance pleasure, and suppress pain, both emotionally and physically. When endorphins are low, people feel anxious; they are also more aware of pain. They have an appetite for fat and fatty foods, such as fries, cheese, creamy sauces, margarine, butter, fried chicken, potato chips, and chocolate, to name some of the most popular examples. Upon eating some fat, they will notice a change in mood, feeling more pleasure. This feeling is related to a higher concentration of endorphin. Exercise, by releasing fat from within the body, raises endorphins and causes the same mood changes.
When we have cravings for potato chips and chocolate, it may mean that we need an endorphin pill rather than all the empty calories from chips. Well, there's a problem. We don't have an endorphin pill. But we have something even better; knowledge of how to deal with these specific types of cravings.
Low serotonin levels make us crave sugar
Similarly, another hormone, serotonin makes us feel calm, poised, confident, and relaxed. When our serotonin levels are low, we feel nervous, irritable and stressed. We don't crave fat, now we crave sugar.
Have cravings for sugar? Nan Allison advises that trying some crackers, frozen yogurt or popcorn may help by raising serotonin levels with far less calories.
Low dopamine makes us feel foggy
Mentally "foggy" at times? This just may be caused by low dopamine levels. When we don't get adequate protein, dopamine levels drop and this makes us mentally sluggish.
The best way to raise dopamine levels, get plenty of lean protein in you diet, with moderate fat and carbs, advises Nan Allison.
You need carbs before you exercise
It's a mistake to think that exercising without adequate carbs in your system will help you lose body fat. Nan Allison explains:
Many people mistakenly believe that if they limit their carbohydrate intake, and then exercise, their body fat will be broken down. What happens, in fact, is that they are lowering their capacity to burn fat, and will lower their metabolism. The reason for this is that the body will break down muscle to form carbohydrate. In addition, the muscle breakdown raises stress hormone levels and causes carbohydrate cravings.
High-intensity exercise performs best
Researchers have shown for years that high-intensity exercise increases these hormones significantly.
"Post-exercise beta-endorphin levels correlated with the peak speed attained during the sprint and the subjects peak power to weight ratio. These results suggest that the increases in plasma adrenaline are related to those factors that reflect the stress of the exercise and the contribution of anaerobic metabolism." (Exercise intensity-related responses of beta-endorphin and catecholamines, 1987, McMurray).
The Take Home
When we experience strong cravings for sugar and high fat foods, it's probably due to a low hormone level that can be resolved with a sensible food choice.
When it comes to diet, the research is clear, the best diet is a balanced diet / in moderation.
Remember to get some high-quality carbs before workouts. This will help fuel the intensity of the workout, and increase, not lower your metabolism.

The New Evolution Diet: What Our Paleolithic Ancestors Can Teach Us about Weight Loss, Fitness, and Aging
Astonishing as it may be, it’s a fact that human DNA has evolved very little since our Paleolithic
ancestors roamed the earth. But while our genes may be similar, the environment in which they express themselves has changed radically. Living in an age when activity was mandatory and food was scarce, our ancestors thrived. Early man did not suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, or obesity. In fact, a good deal of what we describe as “normal aging” is more akin to disease than a

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 1, 2004
I scream, you scream, we're all screaming for fresh ice cream this month, now that Bobtail Soda Fountain has opened its doors to those looking for more than just the average ice cream shop. Located on the border of trendy Lincoln Park and eclectic Lakeview (2951 N. Broadway at the corner of Broadway and Wellington), co-founders Jeff Wilcoxon and Christopher Hill know that you cant go wrong with tradition, style and great homemade taste.
Promising to provide the premier soda fountain experience, Bobtail will combine the charm, nostalgia, and warmth of a classic hometown ice cream parlor with the sophistication, energy and quality of a contemporary urban café.
"Jeff and I are strong believers in local tradition, homemade quality, and fair value. The inspiration for this store is that small town parlor with a friendly face that so many of us knew as kids. Our ice cream is the best Ive ever tasted, our coffee and tea are of the highest quality, and our trademark Belgian waffles are unlike anything available." says co-founder Christopher Hill.
A grand opening weekend complete with tastings, free cones, giveaways and a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 5 - 6 at 2:00 pm.
Derived from the nickname of the handle on an old-fashioned soda fountain, Bobtail will produce each homemade batch in the on-site, glass-enclosed ice cream "factory". Customers will be able to watch as more than 20 classic, seasonal and locally inspired ice cream flavors, such as Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Signature Sunset (merlot ice cream with pieces of dark chocolate), are created right before their eyes. The menu also features a low-carb vanilla, fat-free sorbets, and low-fat frozen yogurt for those seeking a healthier indulgence.
Beyond the factory, the action continues as soda jerks prepare fresh sundaes, classic sodas, floats, and innovative creations like the Cream Espress (a thick vanilla milkshake topped off with a double shot of espresso). Customers can experience the action from the counter seats at the end of the production line and a marble-top bar overlooking the factory.
Unlike most ice cream shops, when the inevitable Chicago winter rolls around, Bobtail doesnt miss a step, since each day begins at 6:00 am with a freshly baked batch of sweet Belgian waffles and muffins, Lavazza coffees and espressos, organic teas by Numi, and fruit juices. Other year-round warm specialties include homemade hot chocolates and hot-fudge fondue.
Bobtails super-premium ice cream is made from the best ingredients available and served in the classic hard-pack style. The recipes were carefully crafted, through research and taste tests, to match the creaminess of other high-end ice creams but offer reduced butterfat content and calories so the subtleties of each flavor shine through.
The shops interior and exterior design was provided by The Gettys Group, a premier Chicago-based interior design and architecture company that has won national recognition for many of its hospitality and restaurant design projects. Utilizing a mix of both traditional and contemporary design elements, they developed a distinctive interior design that attempts to reflect the diverse Lakeview marketplace.
Contemporary accents include a flat-screen television and mosaic tile doorstep, while a classic stainless steel fountain, white marble countertops and a collection of photographs and collectibles give an authentic feel of days gone by. An outdoor patio with lantern lighting and music provides a perfect setting to enjoy the entire experience on a warm summer evening.
The premier soda fountain will offer corporate and private catering services starting this summer. For special occasions, made-to-order cakes are available or you can create a completely personalized, 20-quart batch of ice cream combining any of the ingredients on the core menu.
The Bobtail Soda Fountain concept was initially developed by Jeff Wilcoxon and Christopher Hill through the Edward L. Kaplan New Venture Challenge, an annual business plan competition at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business (GSB). Inspiration came from the Wilcoxons family-owned Johnsons Real Ice Cream in Bexley, Ohio and 50-years of small town ice cream tradition. John Rutledge, a fellow GSB alumnus, successful Chicago-based hospitality/real estate entrepreneur and private equity investor, and co-founder and president of The Oxford Capital Group began collaborating with Jeff and Chris in the spring of 2003. He signed on as lead investor, strategic advisor, and CEO of the new company.
"Chris and I thought it would be great if we could take this plan and continue the tradition of my familys ice cream shop," says co-founder Jeff Wilcoxon. "I grew up watching my father and grandfather serve the best ice cream in town. Weve taken their proven formulas and refined them into our own recipes. We are ready to deliver a unique soda fountain experience to Chicago. Its been fun to watch people rate our ice cream ahead of all the prominent brands during taste tests. You really have to taste it to believe it."
Mr. Rutledge is a member of the advisory board of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship at the Chicago GSB. Building on this connection to the University of Chicago, and its founders commitment to providing educational opportunities universally, Bobtail will donate a percentage of its annual revenue to both local and national educational initiatives. Among the first beneficiaries will be Chicagos Inner City Teaching Corps, whose honorary chair is Mayor Richard M. Daley.
