The reward center and its impact on discipline
Athletic perseverance has deep neurological roots. Inside the skull, there is a chemical transmitter responsible for dictating the degree of motivation, the perception of success and the feeling of euphoria.
Each time an individual completes a training session and perceives progress, a rush of this compound is released, mentally reinforcing the behavior so that it wants to be repeated.
In addition to serving as a formidable natural antidepressant, this substance assists in blocking inordinate cravings for junk food and sharpens attention during complex physical movements.
On another organic front, the empty digestive tract emits its own chemical messenger, responsible for igniting the primitive feeding instinct.
Interestingly, this same hunger inducer possesses the fascinating secondary ability to stimulate brain secretion of tissue-building agents.
Main gland in cellular thermogenesis
Located in the anterior axis of the neck is a small glandular structure that governs the speed at which the entire human motor operates.
The chemicals it produces travel to virtually every biological tissue, accurately dictating the rate of resting caloric consumption.
If the production of these mediators is optimal, the body oxidizes energy rapidly, favoring lean and dynamic constitutions.
Additionally, these agents modulate tissue maturation during developmental stages and monitor vital variables such as heart rate and pressure within the vascular bed.
Thermoregulation, i.e., the biological ability to generate and disperse body heat, is absolutely dependent on this delicate glandular balance.
