Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter. Your body produces it, and your nervous system uses it to send messages between nerve cells. Dopamine plays a big role in how we feel pleasure, and it’s a key part of our thinking and planning. You can improve your body’s ability to create dopamine by eating foods high in protein, like poultry, fish, beef, eggs, dairy, nuts and beans. Avoid saturated fat, as it interferes with the way dopamine functions. Another way to boost dopamine production is to make to-do lists and check items off as you complete them. Notice the little steps you take on the way to achieving bigger goals and celebrate your victories, large and small. Focus on self-care, especially if this is something you tend to put off. Make an appointment with your dentist or eye doctor. Get your hair trimmed. Take a power nap. Give yourself a facial or a mani-pedi. Make time to enjoy the results!
