Has anyone ever told them that they don't have to?
Said that some are addicted to the endorphin release they get or 'runners high'.
Endorphins have a sedative and morphine type effect.
But one does not have to do something as extreme as a marathon to get such effect.
I know through decades of a moderate exercise regime and including carbs before bed,
will help with improving relaxation and sleep.... carbs help increase tryptophan and serotonin.
Endorphins, tryptophan and serotonin = good.
