Dopamine is an important chemical in our brain. It comes out as we feel motivated. It’s the chemical of motivation. There are ways to bring dopamine into our brain. There are good ways, which has a good health outcome and is sustainable. But there are bad ways also. Which are not good for our health neither our physical nor our mental health. 

If you take refined sugar, immediately you feel good & motivated. As refined sugar brings dopamine in your brain. Now insulin takes the action to reduce the sugar in blood. The blood sugar goes down as well your motivation.

Two addictions like smoking & alcohol which are highly prevalent today in our society, basically work by stimulating dopamine in the brain. But the dose that has worked at once will not work in the second time and will not work at all at the third time. There’s an addiction cycle. More usage of these drugs has a very negative health outcome.
