Running Article: Runner's High
Runner's High by Running and FitNews May 2002
Ever wonder what is behind the ubiquitous runner's high? It might be closer to the drug-induced equivalent than you would think. Researchers in the United Kingdom have linked the production of a brain chemical to aerobic exercise.
Measurements of phenylacetic acid levels in the urine of healthy men after running on a treadmill for 30 minutes increased by 14% to as much as 572%.
Phenylacetic acid in the urine reflects the level of phenylethylamine in the blood. This brain chemical is similar to mood-elevating amphetamines and is found in lower than normal concentrations in individuals suffering from depression and bipolar disorder.
The commonly experienced euphoria known to distance runners is undoubtedly a more complex confluence of variables--neurochemical, psychosocial, and biological-but these findings may be part of the explanation. Runners have always known that the best cure for the blues is a nice, long run. (British J. of Sports Medicine, 2001, Vol. 35. No. 5, pp. 342-343)

Phentermine
Phentermine is an adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on exercise, behavior modification, and calorie restriction in the management of obesity.
Phentermine is considered to be an anorectic, meaning it is a diet pill that causes appetite loss. Phentermine is the recommended diet pill by Slimmer You Diet Pill Prescriptions.
