Exercise often

It is advised to exercise to increase endorphin levels and improves mood. Even 10 minutes of aerobic exercise can improve mood, although the benefits are usually greatest after at least 20 minutes.

Animal studies suggest that exercise may increase dopamine levels in the brain, even though these benefits are likely not completely related to changes in dopamine levels. Running on a treadmill boosts dopamine levels in rats and regulates the number of dopamine receptors in the brain's reward centers. However, a 3-month human study discovered that practicing yoga for one hour, six days per week, dramatically raised dopamine levels. People with Parkinson's disease, a disorder in which low dopamine levels impair the people's ability to control body movements, can also benefit from regular aerobic exercise.
