Unless you’re keen on channelling the Grinch, because I suppose every workplace has one, you’re probably rather stoked when the brain kicks its dopamine production into overdrive.

That’s because, to put things simply, when dopamine levels spike we feel pleasure.

But there’s more to it than that – just check THIS:

Scientists concluded that dopamine plays a much broader role than originally conceived. It draws the brain’s attention to significant or surprising events, highlighting them to enable the brain to replicate the experience.

Dopamine does play a role in reward, but its primary function is to signal the brain to “pay attention” and remember. Think of dopamine as the proverbial carrot, a reward the brain doles out to networks of neurons for making survival-enhancing choices.

You done good brain, have some dopamine.

There are many ways to achieve such a spike, but not all of them are both socially acceptable and OK to partake in at your work desk.

So how are you going to get your fix then – well, what about a secret recipe concoction that tastes great and will put a cheeky smile on your face at the same time?

Have a look at THIS GEM from Wellness Warehouse, a tumeric and apple cider vinegar tea, which also helps to combat flu and boost the immune system.

The key there is the tumeric that’s spicing up the tea, because tumeric has a whole host of fantastic properties. Check it:

It has natural disease-fighting agents and a daily dose may help ward off colds and flu, ease stiff and aching joints, and keep the heart healthy. Turmeric is especially beneficial in the winter months, adding a warmth to your favourite dishes while promoting the production of serotonin and dopamine, which are natural mood boosters.

Dopamine and serotonin, double whammy. People at work are really going to start wondering what you’re up to.

What’s serotonin you ask? Here you go:

It is mainly found in the gastrointestinal tract, the platelets and the central nervous system and contributes to a sense of well-being and happiness.

See that, you’re doubling up on the happiness front. Adios, office Grinch.

Rumour has it Seth is bringing some to our offices, although he also knows that sending us home early on a Friday has a powerful effect.

Happy tea-drinking and dopamine-wave riding folks – be sure to check out Wellness Warehouse for everything you need to keep your body a temple.
