Dopamine

The funny thing about dopamine is that it makes you feel far from dopey. In fact, the neurotransmitter dopamine makes you feel like a king. It exists in the body and the brain, and if you have plenty of dopamine you're more aggressive, in a positive way, and are verbally more fluent. Dopamine is produced naturally by the body and when you eat protein, drink tea, or exercise your dopamine level rises. In fact, exercise increases not only dopamine but dopamine receptors in the brain, giving you a double boost. In other words, the more you exercise, the more dopamine you'll produce and the more dopamine receptors you'll have.
