Want to Get High as a Kite?

By RealAge

We've got a surefire way to keep the happy feelings pouring in. And you don't have to inhale.

Just grab your workout shoes and get going. Research now confirms it: Sustained aerobic exercise can give you a natural high.

Happiness Is All in Your Head
Researchers recently noted all sorts of endorphin activity when they studied the brain scans of people who'd gone for a 2-hour run. Their emotion- and mood-controlling brain regions were particularly saturated with the feel-good hormones.
