.healthy Exercise is known to boost happiness, not just through endorphins but also through molecules called myokines. These substances, released when muscles contract during exercise, can cross into the brain and enhance neuronal function, potentially improving mood and brain health. Researchers believe myokines like irisin and hydroxybutyrate could play a role in mediating the positive effects of exercise, potentially acting as antidepressants and enhancing resilience to stress.

This emerging understanding has led to them being dubbed “hope molecules,” suggesting they could offer new pathways for improving mental wellbeing through physical activity.
