Eat Your Way to a Dopamine High

Most fruit and veggies contain some antioxidants which can raise dopamine levels in the brain. Red beans, blueberries, cranberries, artichokes, prunes, and strawberries. Substitutes saturated fats with olives oils and other polyunsaturated oils (the good kind of fat) in food preparation.

Dopamine is the natural chemical your body produces to stabilize your mood and make you feel "happy".

- Reduce or cut out refined processed sugar
- Snack on raw almonds and/or sunflower seeds
- Reduce alcohol intake
- Reduce and limit intake of caffeine
