In a nutshell:
15 Ways to Naturally Boost Your Dopamine Levels Dopamine is a critical neurotransmitter, a. k. a, chemical messenger in the brain, that affects memory, sleep, mood, appetite, and libido. For instance, whenever you do something enjoyable, say eating your favorite ice cream, the brain releases some dopamine.
On the other hand, engaging in vices like recreational drugs and alcohol can also trigger the release of dopamine. But did you know that as simple as listening to music and exercising regularly helps raise your dopamine levels naturally? Stay tuned to know more about these natural dopamine-enhancing ways. It helps boost your dopamine levels, as well as your serotonin and endorphins. In a 3-month study in humans, it was revealed that performing 1 hour of yoga 6 days weekly drastically increased dopamine levels.
When released, dopamine makes you feel alert and awake. Animal studies indicate that large amounts of dopamine are released when it`s time to wake up and those amounts naturally drop in the evening when it`s bedtime. As a result, it reduces the number of dopamine receptors in the brain. Moreover, tyrosine can be made from another amino acid called phenylalanine.
Eat more protein-rich foods like eggs, turkey, and legumes, as they contain both tyrosine and phenylalanine. Having candies, sodas, and other processed sugars can elevate your dopamine levels. Similarly, alcohol and recreational drugs give temporary boosts of dopamine, all the while, affecting the rate at which the body produces it naturally. For instance, when you eat a large amount of sugar in a short time, there`s this rush of elation that follows through.
In one study, rats who had 50% of their calories from saturated fat had reduced dopamine signaling compared with animals who had unsaturated fat. Plus, other studies indicate that high saturated fat intake is linked to poor memory and thinking ability in humans. That`s because the gut contains tons of nerve cells that produce many neurotransmitter signaling molecules, including dopamine. Thus, the status of your gut health will also determine your dopamine levels, which may impact your mood and behavior.
Well, did you know that both of these drinks help increase your dopamine levels? Billions of people around the world literally cannot live a day without at least a cup of coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages. One of the reasons why coffee makes you alert and awake is that it stimulates the release of dopamine. What`s more, the caffeine in it enhances the availability of dopamine receptors. All kinds of teas including white, green, black, and oolong tea are also capable of raising dopamine, thanks to the presence of an amino acid called l-theanine.
That`s because sun exposure is linked to higher dopamine levels and better mood. It also explains why there`s seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or a condition in which people feel down or depressed during winter months when they don`t have enough sun exposure. 9. Take advantage of the brain`s natural reward system.
One of the main reasons people love dopamine surges is because of the way they make them feel great. Achieving goals is also a good way to use this reward system.
