Adrenaline sport addiction

Many people are addicted to their sports and consider themselves to be healthy.

If you cannot live without your sport then this is indeed addiction.

Adrenaline producing sports are one such addictive branch of sport.

Most martial arts, squash, skydiving, riding motorbikes fast and other action sports are adrenaline producing.

The production of adrenalin is the buzz as it alters the serotonin levels in the brain, which last for some time, hence the addiction.


So if you are an adrenaline junky then be aware because for sure there is always a downside.

The downside is the need.

The alteration of mood leading to more need.

The increase of milk acid in the body.

Obsessive focus on the activity.

There is no free ride so just be aware of the price you pay.
