endorphin
This term is primarily used in biological and medical contexts to describe the body's internal opioid-like chemicals. It carries a strong positive connotation, often associated with the "runner's high" or the natural relief of physical pain and stress.
In casual conversation, it is frequently used to explain the psychological reward of exercise or intense activity. While it is a technical chemical term, it has entered common parlance to describe any natural surge of well-being or euphoria triggered by physical exertion.
