Endorphins are the source of euphoria and well-being in the human body. When a goal is scored or another play is played, the brain releases them. These hormones are known as the body’s “natural painkillers”; they relieve the mood, reduce pain and stress, which allows you to fully enjoy the moment.

Emotional stress

Stress can be good at times. Watching a Colombia match can be a ‘nice’ way to feel stressed. These moments of high tension can trigger feelings of anxiety and distress. Although this tension directly affects the nervous system, raising levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone”, it can also intensify satisfaction and relief when the result is favorable to the favorite team.
