Dopamine Part 4 - How Does Dopamine Affect Us?
Addicted to caffeine?
Coffee provides a jump start that low-dopamine individuals needs, especially when they are tired. It can also greatly reduce the risk of diabetes, by helping the aging of the pancreas. But like everything else, it’s only good for you in moderation. Make sure to check with your doctor about your caffeine consumption, especially if you know that you have specific health problems. It’s also important to know the ratio of how much water you’re drinking as compared to your caffeine intake; caffeine is such a powerful stimulant that it burns up your body’s water supply. If you’re not also drinking lots of water, you might find that you are becoming dehydrated. Also remember that fresh-brewed tea and loose tea leaves have far more nutrients than tea bags or bottled teas.
Sleep your excess weight away
Because sleep deprivation contributes to fatigue, you must get yourself and your dopamine back on track. Getting seven hours a night is critical for weight loss. One study showed that people who get four hours of sleep per night were 73 percent more likely to be obese than those who slept seven to nine hours.
The truth about whole grains
Fiber is an important tool for weight loss. Fiber is like a scrub brush for your digestion, scouring your system until it is sparkling clean. It cleans out your colon, controls your blood sugar, pulls fat from your arteries, raises your HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and detoxifies your body. What’s more, it’s bulky; fiber fills you up so you eat less. High-fiber foods such as oatmeal, brown rice, and broccoli can also absorb excess estrogen compounds, which are produced during menstruation. It can be used as a powerful appetite suppressant when you are experiencing PMS cravings. The recommended dosage of daily fiber is 40 to 45 grams every day.
