10 Ways To Supercharge Your Brain
In doing research on Supercharging human's Dopamine Levels to "Never Feel" sad, stressed or depressed again I have some interesting findings:
The brain releases a dopamine, neurotransmitter of which is vital for countless essential bodily functions. Dopamine is excellent for these following body functions:
-Regulating movement
-Controlling the center of happiness and reward in the brain
-Strengthening the cognitive functions (knowledge, attention, memory, decision-making, evaluation, problem solving)
-Managing the secretion of prolactin
Due to the fact that Dopamine is incredibly important for our wellbeing and happiness, decreased levels of dopamine leads to a variety of health issues. Such as depression, sadness, negativity and various emotional challenges.
I am thrilled to inform you that there are actually 10 beneficial ways to elevate the dopamine levels in your body's Eco System, WITH OUT medications at all!
I interveiwed 4 Nutrissionists at Shand's and North Forida Regional Hopspital in Gainesville, Fl. They all said the same answer.
This is one of the interviews I did:
Angel:
"Hi, Good afternoon. I'm am resurching what a person does to release, along with increase dopamine in an individual's brain.
In a number of studys with Humens,it has been proven that exercise increases this chemicalleval. Is there a spacific exercise
that an indiviual needs to do for this?"
Nutrisionist:
"The exercise of every kind raises the levels of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphin. Regular exercise provides happiness,
strengthens the body, reduces stress."
Angel:
"Dose any kind of addiction such as drugsie.(any mood altering chenicals), shpoing, gambling,over eating, help? Is it healthier to
release dopiminbe by short gradification?"
Nutrisionist:
"Addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, and even shopping, provide an instant pleasure, but it is not a permanent solution.
Additions only temporarily satisfy our needs."
"Moreover, addictions alter our lifestyle in favor of the source of the addiction, and it is a wicked cycle. Therefore, you should
try and lower the risk of developing addictions, enjoy life, and find things that provide deeper calmness and happiness. Also, it is of great importance to work a job you enjoy."
Angel:
"There are many people that detox their body regulary. What is your advise to the numerious of people that do not detox the toxic
chemicles and backtierior in their bodies? How does regular Detoxification help?"
Nutrisionist:
"It is extremely important to detox your body! Make sure you regularly detoxify your system, as the accumulation of toxins and
bacteria in the body prevents the dopamine production and weakens the immunity."
Angel:
Tell me about Tryosine. What dose it do? Will increasing Tyrosine help?
Nutrisionist:
"Tryosine is a hydrophilic amino acid that is a constituent of most proteins and is important in the synthesis of some hormones."
"Tyrosine is one of the 22 essential amino acids used for the creation of proteins. It is actually the most important chemical for
the dopamine production of dopamine."
"Besides dopamine, it also has the potential to elevate norepinephrine levels. In order to raise its levels in the body, you should
consume green tea, watermelon, almonds, bananas, avocados, and dark chocolate."
Angel:
"Do levals of Dopamine also increase when a person listens to music?"
Nutrisionist:
"Dopamine levels are also increased through listening to music, even though it may be short-term. Therefore, use music as a
common way to raise dopamine levels."
Angel:
"What about a ruitine in a person's life? Even if it is kaotic? Will the dopamine levals increase?"
Nutritionist:
"The levels of dopamine are raised in the case of organized small daily tasks, even though they are hard at times. You should
write your tasks down on a piece of paper, and check them off. In this way, you will be satisfied as you note that you finish them
one by one."
"The Principles of Self-Management state that if a task represents a change of 25% (or bigger change) in the routine, you will feel
unable to finish it, and often ends up with a self-sabotage or giving up."
"Yes, if the task changes 10% of your routine, you will succeed to complete it, as you will believe it is small. Therefore, balance
tasks to be 10 and 25% of new behaviors, in order to try new and challenging things, but still not too difficult to complete."
Angel:
"In my research, I found that being Creative also helps to decrease depression. How dose dopamine help in that way?"
Nutritionist:
"The levels of dopamine in the brain are also elevated with a creative activity. This will also keep you focused. You do not need
to become a world-known artist but try dancing, singing, writing, sculpturing, painting, drawing, cooking, knitting, making crafts,
and auto repair, and you will feel much better right away."
Angel:
"How will planing daily tasks, even writting things down or even in a persons mind help to never feeling sad, stressed out or even
depressed AGAIN?"
Nutritionist:
"In this sense, “streak” will mean a visual reminder of the number of times in a row you do something. This is similar
to organizing the tasks, and accomplishing them. This will raise the levels of dopamine, and make you happier and satisfied.
You should use a calendar, written your goals, and plan when to complete them. As soon as you finish the task, mark it off on
your calendar. Yet, the drawback of the ‘streak’ is routine, so you should find a way to enhance the performance."
Angel:
"What about the use of supplements?"
Nutritionist:
"Dopamine levels can also be raised through supplementation, such as: Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, effectively
increase dopamine in the brain. Ginkgo Biloba has a potential to raise dopamine levels as well. Acetyl-l-tyrosine is a building
block of dopamine, so a healthy dose of it supports the production of dopamine in the brain. L-theanine increases numerous
neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine. Green tea is a rich source of l-theanine."
Angel:
"If a person needs to take meditation will it help? Is ther certain medications that do help in a possitive way?"
Nutritionist:
"Yes it depends what an individual's doctor sujjests and prescibes. Meditation raises the levels of dopamine in a different way
that cardio exercises. It improves your mood, creates mental energy, and relaxes the mind. Meditation is an efficient way to
reduce stress on a daily basis.
Even-though a few amount of people may choose just to take human Made drugs, here is evidence that proves that is NOT AT All NECESSARY. Dating back centuries our ancestors used healthier and natural ways to balance the human-being's Eco system. Living healthier, controlling mood swings, ( such as Bi Polar, and depression). Even staying fit. The plants of the earth as well as certain animals are a healthier way, to stay sound of mind and body.
