Dopamine

Abstract. Dopamine is an organic chemical compound from the catecholamines and

phenethylamine families. Dopamine is also a hormone produced by the hypothalamus.
Its main function as a hormone is to inhibit the release of prolactin from the pituitary
gland. Dopamine is a hormone of happiness and self-pleasure. Outside the central
nervous system, dopamine functions primarily as a paracrine factor. In blood tissue,
domophine inhibits the release of norepinephrine and functions as a vasodilator (dilates
blood vessels at normal concentrations). In the kidney, domophine increases sodium
excretion and urine output. In the pancreas, dopamine reduces insulin production. In the
digestive system, dopamine reduces motility and protects the intestinal mucosa. Judging
from some of these dopamine functions, we are obliged to increase dopamine so that its
functions can run well. Many efforts can be made to increase dopamine. So that the
increase in dopamine does not cause adverse side effects. We better make efforts to
increase dopamine naturally such as; eating high-protein foods, getting enough sleep,
exercising regularly, getting enough sunlight, listening to music, and meditating. To get
the results that are in line with expectations, we are required to do this activity well and
seriously. Efforts to increase dopamine naturally have been reviewed directly by
doctors, one of the doctors who reviewed was Dr. Irma in 2020.
Keywords: Natural efforts to increase dopamine

Preliminary
Dopamine is a hormone, one of the organic
chemical compounds from the catecholamine
and phenethylamine family. Dopamine
functions as a hormone and neurotransmitter
and has an important role in the body and
brain. So it is very important to have adequate
levels of dopamine. There are several natural
natural ways that can be applied to increase
dopamine.
Discussion
Based on the information I got. It turns out
that dopamine is very important in this life.
This is because dopamine has many
functions. The simplest functions are
involved with memory motivation, and
regulating body movement. Dopamine is a
hormone that carries organic chemical
compounds derived from catacholamines and
phanethylamine.

Results
Protein is the content needed by the body with the
building blocks of amino acids. There are 23 kinds of
amino acids in protein, including the ability to synthesize.
In the amino acid there is tyrosine, which has a role to
produce the hormone dopamine
Sleep 7-9 hours every night for optimal health. Therefore,
improve your sleep time so that the dopamine hormone
can work optimally in the body and not reduce its
sensitivity.
Exercise must be done to increase endorphins levels and
improve mood
Listening to music can be a fun way to stimulate the
brain's dopamine release
Please note that when exposure to sunlight is low, it will
cause a decrease in the level of neurotransmitters that will
affect mood, including the hormone dopamine
A study resulted in a new fact that dopamine levels
increase when doing meditation

From the table above, it can be further
clarified. That with; 1. Consuming foods high
in parotein can increase the hormone
dopamine. This is due to the content needed
by the body with the ingredients for the
preparation of amino acids. There are 23
kinds of amino acids in protein, of which they
are able to synthesize. In the amino acid there
is tyrosine, which has a role to produce the
hormone dopamine. We can eat turkey, beef,
eggs, soybeans, and beans to meet protein
needs. 2. Get enough sleep. Keep in mind that
the hormone dopamine that is released brings
us to be always alert and awake. There are
studies that the hormone dopamine released
makes the animal wake up in the morning and
at night; show bedtime when we can't enough
sleep then the rhythm that occurs is not in
accordance with the circumstances. If you
wake up every night, your hormones will
decrease. Decreased hormones will affect the
sensitivity of receptors which causes a
decrease in the body's condition to worsen.
The National Sleep Foundation, recommends
that everyone sleep 7-9 hours each night for
optimal health. Therefore, in order for
dopamine to work optimally, we must sleep
with these rules. 3. Regular exercise, exercise
must be done to improve mood and levels of
endorphins. Sports that can be done, such as
aerobic activities even in a matter of minutes.
This can increase dopamine levels in the
brain. 1 hour of yoga routine 6 days/week will
provide a significant increase in the hormone
dopamine 4. Listening to music, listening to
music can be a way to increase dopamine.
This happens because it is a way to stimulate
the brain's release of dopamine. Serveral
brain imaging studies, found that listening to
music increases pleasure in the brain, which
is rich in dopamine receptors. It can be said
that listening to our favorite instrument music
will increase the hormone dopamine. 5.
Getting enough sunlight is also an effort to
increase the hormone dopamine. Seasonal
affective disorder (SAD) is a condition in
which a person feels sad because they don't
get sunlight. Sunlight can improve mood and
hormones. 6 By doing meditation we can
increase dopamine. Consciously to increase
the dopamine of the heart and mind by
clearing the mind, Focusing, without thinking
bad. A study has shown that meditating for 1
hour can increase dopamine levels in the
brain by 64%.
Conclusion
With this explanation and many studies
written to confirm that these activities are an
effort that can be done to increase dopamine
naturally. So, by doing these activities and
complying with the study, we can certainly
achieve the good dopamine hormone.
