Tyrosine is one of the most important chemicals which is used in the synthesis of dopamine. Eating foods high in tyrosine will not only increase your resistance to stress but will also make you feel better. Much of this substance is found in almonds, avocados, bananas, watermelon, green tea, and dark chocolate. Red wine, however, contains the chemicals that increase the sensitivity of the receptors to dopamine. So if you want to boost your mood, one of the best choices you can make is to consume red wine with dark chocolate.

Meditation increases dopamine levels differently than physical exercise. When you are fully relaxed, your body releases more mental energy that, in turn, boosts the production of the feel-good hormones.

When you sleep, your body begins its job of producing hormones and substances that may increase the level of dopamine. Moreover, a healthy and restful sleep is happiness in itself.
