How to fill up with dopamine so you never feel sad again or stressed again?

in #health7 years ago

Our brain emits a neurotransmitter, dopamine, which is key to numerous essential body functions. Dopamine is great when it comes to:

*movement control
*control of the pleasure center and reward in the brain
*improving cognitive functions (knowledge, attention, memory, decision making, evaluation, problem solving)
*regulation of prolactin secretion

Given that dopamine is very important to our well-being and happiness, a reduced level can lead to various health problems, such as depression, sorrow, negativity, and other emotional pains. Fortunately, there are 7 effective ways to increase dopamine in your body without using medication.

  1. Practice
    All types of physical activity increase the levels of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphin. Regular exercise provides happiness, strengthens your body and reduces stress.

  2. Avoid addictive activities
    Addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling and even shopping can give you instant pleasure, but it's not a lasting solution. Dependencies only currently satisfy our needs, but they can lead to an increased risk of developing depression and other mental illnesses.

  3. Practice regular detoxification
    Make sure you regularly perform detoxification on your system, as the accumulation of toxins and bacteria in the body prevents the production of dopamine and reduces immunity.

  4. Increase the tyrosine intake
    Tyrosine is one of the 22 essential amino acids needed to make proteins. He is actually the most important when it comes to creating dopamine. That's why regularly consume green tea, watermelons, almonds, bananas, avocados, and dark chocolate.

  5. Listen to music
    The easiest way to increase the level of dopamine is by listening to music. That's why try to have a habit of regularly listening to your favorite music in order to maintain the optimal level of dopamine.

  6. Organize your life
    Dopamine also increases in the performance of everyday small tasks, even when they seem tough. It is best to write down your tasks on a sheet of paper and to draw them up when finished. In this way you will feel great pleasure as soon as you see the whole list finished, and thus significantly increase the level of dopamine.

  7. Be creative
    The level of dopamine in the brain can be increased by performing creative activity. This will also keep you focused. You do not need to become a world famous artist, but try drawing, dancing, singing, writing, cooking and the like for yourself and you will quickly notice that you will feel much better.
