Description of Exercise
Exercise modulates various components of the ECS and may be harnessed to induce specific therapeutic effects for the prevention and treatment of a diverse group of mostly chronic conditions including stress-related diseases.
Recent data has shown that physical activity (PE) is associated with increases in endocannabinoid serum concentrations (i.e., AEA and 2-AG), increased endocannabinoid receptor expression, which in turn correlated to a reduction in neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, beta-amyloids, anxiety, depression while increasing neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, analgesic effects, and improving mood effects.
As such, the ECS has emerged as the modulator of exercise benefits in the context of mental health.
