Eat velvet beans

The precursor molecule to dopamine, L-dopa, is naturally found in high concentrations in velvet beans (Mucuna pruriens). According to studies, eating these beans may naturally increase dopamine levels, particularly in those who have Parkinson's disease, a movement disorder caused by low dopamine levels.

A 1992 research on Parkinson's patients discovered that eating 250 grams of cooked velvet beans considerably increased dopamine levels and decreased symptoms of the condition 1-2 hours later. Similarly, a number of research on Mucuna pruriens supplements discovered that they may be less likely to cause adverse effects and may be even more effective and long-lasting than traditional Parkinson's disease medications. Remember that large quantities of velvet beans are poisonous. Be cautious to follow the dose instructions provided on the product label.
