Endorphins are one of the most natural ways to feel good. Not only are endorphins thought to block the sensation of pain, but they also work to lower stress levels and support the immune system. Some studies have indicated that they can cause certain cells, called natural killer cells, to be triggered. Once those cells are stimulated, they work to fight cancer cells.
