Exercise is a scientifically proven way to increase dopamine, according to a 2022 study in The Journal of Neuroscience. Meditation , listening to music , and achieving goals have also been shown ...
“By proactively engaging in certain activities that naturally increase dopamine levels, we can tap into dopamine’s power to improve productivity, enhance mood, and elevate overall well-being ...
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in the function of many areas of the body, such as digestion, sleep, learning and emotional health, including how one feels pleasure and reward.
Dopamine has also consistently been shown to play a role in reward learning, in all animal groups.
