我观察到许多人感到疲惫,缺乏改变的动力。这与现代文化中容易获得即时满足的方式有关,例如刷手机、追剧等。这些低投入高多巴胺的活动会扰乱身体的自然生化途径,影响多巴胺、血清素、肾上腺素和皮质醇等激素的分泌,最终导致疲劳和缺乏改变的动力。 从生化角度来看,多巴胺是愉悦的化学物质,而持续的低投入高多巴胺活动会训练身体习惯于这种低强度的多巴胺释放,导致身体缺乏运动,气血运行不畅,淋巴循环受阻,消化功能紊乱,甚至出现肠漏等问题。 此外,这种持续的低强度多巴胺释放最终会转化为肾上腺素,如果不能通过运动等方式燃烧掉多余的肾上腺素,它会转化为焦虑、心悸、手脚冰凉等症状,最终导致肾上腺疲劳甚至衰竭。 肾上腺疲劳会导致早晨皮质醇水平低,缺乏活力,需要咖啡或糖分来提神。这表明身体已经处于疲惫状态,需要补充营养,增强肾上腺功能。 解决方法包括:增加高强度运动,燃烧多余的肾上腺素;改善饮食,减少精制糖,增加蛋白质和全食物的摄入;补充一些草药,例如合欢皮、罗勒、灵芝、阿育吠陀等,以增强肾上腺功能;补充维生素D、A和K,改善多巴胺和血清素的合成;进行基因检测,了解自身多巴胺和血清素合成能力,从而针对性地进行改善。 总而言之,克服现代疲劳需要从多巴胺、肾上腺功能和生活方式等多方面入手,恢复身体的平衡,才能拥有改变的动力和愉悦感。
