Body may produce its own ‘cannabis’ due to exercise, which further reduces chronic inflammation.
Exercise Helps Treat Anxiety
Exercise (moderate and strenuous) was found to alleviate anxiety symptoms. Half of the patients had lived with anxiety for at least ten years.

The study team tested 78 people with arthritis. It was found that when these people received exercise intervention, it reduced their pain, along with reduced levels of inflammatory substances (called cytokines). Moreover, exercise also increased levels of natural cannabis-like substances – Endocannabinoids by altering the gut microbes called SCFAS. In addition, it was observed that at least one-third of the anti-inflammatory effects of the gut microbiome were due to the increase in endocannabinoids.
“Our study clearly shows that exercise increases the body’s own cannabis-type substances. Which can have a positive impact on many conditions. As interest in cannabidiol oil and other supplements increases, it is important to know that simple lifestyle interventions like exercise can modulate Endocannabinoids,” says Doctor Amrita Vijay, a Research Fellow in the School of Medicine and first author of the paper.
Does Vigorous Exercise Increase Risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
Heavy physical activity during work hours was associated with almost twice the risk of developing Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

What Motivates People to Exercise?
Illness- and death-related messages motivate people to exercise more efficiently. This helps designers of health apps to better understand the types of messages that individuals, regardless of gender, are likely to be motivated.

Does Everybody Respond to Exercise at the Same Level?
A new study found that genes influence outcomes more prominently in muscle training exercises and propose in the future it could be possible to personalize exercise programs to individual genetic profiles.
