Often Not in the Mood? Increase Your Body's Dopamine with These Ways

Dream - Have you ever felt a decrease in enthusiasm and a lack of motivation in carrying out daily activities? If so, it may be due to very low levels of dopamine in the body.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone in the brain that plays a key role in regulating reward, motivation, memory, attention, and body movement.

Dopamine is released in large amounts when we engage in activities that bring pleasure, such as exercising or enjoying delicious food. The more exciting the activity, the more dopamine is released.

"Know the Level of Dopamine?"

The level of dopamine in the body can be measured through urine tests or blood tests. For urine tests, the normal range is around 65-400 micrograms per 24 hours, while for blood tests, it typically ranges from 0-30 picograms per milliliter. The results of these tests may vary between laboratories. Doctors or healthcare professionals will examine the results and determine the next steps if necessary.

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "A more detailed test can be done if it is necessary to understand the health condition related to dopamine more deeply, namely with a catecholamine test. Usually, a catecholamine test is performed for rare conditions and not only as a general marker to see dopamine levels."

"What are the symptoms when dopamine levels are low?"

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Low dopamine levels can be a sign of various health conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, restless leg syndrome, attention deficit disorder, or depression. The symptoms can vary, ranging from chronic constipation, chronic pain, difficulty swallowing, insomnia, excessive fatigue, difficulty concentrating, uncontrollable body movements, impulsive tendencies, to low mood and loss of interest in activities. So, if there are signs like that, it could be related to low dopamine levels."

"How to Increase Dopamine"

There are several ways to increase dopamine levels. One of them is through a lifestyle that can be done to increase dopamine.

Eat Protein

Certain foods can increase dopamine levels. Such as the amino acid tyrosine, which is needed to increase dopamine and can be found in foods such as cheese, soy, beef, lamb, fish, chicken, nuts, eggs, milk, and whole grains.

"Especially legumes, especially fava and bush beans. These beans can improve our mood because they contain L-dopa, which is the basic ingredient for dopamine. In addition to beans, fruits such as bananas, plantains, and avocados are also natural sources of dopamine."

The translation of the word "Olahraga" from Bahasa to English is "Sports".

Regular exercise can improve our mood and brain, you know. This is because dopamine is released when our body moves. Research reveals that practicing yoga for one hour, six days a week, can increase our dopamine levels for three months.

"Mediation"

"Meditation is indeed known for its beneficial effects on physical and mental health. Beyond that, research shows that meditation is able to increase dopamine levels. In studies using neuroimaging technology, it has been found that during meditation sessions, a part of the brain called the striatum, which is the core of the dopamine system, becomes highly active."

Therefore, meditation can play a role as a trigger to increase dopamine production in the body.

"Sosialisasi" translates to "Socialization" in English.

When we interact with others, it can trigger the release of dopamine in the brain. Social interaction can also cause the release of oxytocin throughout the body. Well, this oxytocin is often referred to as the "happiness chemical." Interestingly, the release of oxytocin then stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain. So, it can be said that social interaction is like a chain trigger of happiness within the body.

"Listening to Music"

Listening to favorite songs can help improve mood. This is because music can stimulate activity in the dopamine-rich areas of the brain.

Research also shows that music has a direct positive impact on the dopamine system, which can help improve fine motor control, especially in people with Parkinson's disease.
