How to naturally boost  norepinephrine (noradrenaline) levels?
830544
Well, first your logic is water-proof.  You notice that one of your classmates is functioning at a very high level and you attribute that to a single chemical in the brain.  How can you be sure they aren't bi-polar?  Drink excessive amounts of coffee immediately before class?  What about all of the other brain chemicals that affect mood and cognitive functioning?  Second, looking for "natural" ways to fiddle with neurotransmitters is not a very effective way to go, I liken it to drinking Robotussin to treat emphysema.... sh|t just doesn't work.  \n\nLook, if you're serious about your mood and functioning concerns you should discuss them with your regular doctor, see if a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist or both would be worth your while.  And having experience with a medicine that affects my norepinephrine levels (inhibits them to reduce anxiety) I can say that messing with that neurotransmitter isn't going to give you the effect you're looking for.\n\nIf you don't want to see a doctor, my next best suggestion is to develop a good solid coke habit: that'll get some pep back in your step in no time.

I can't imagine that there is a way to lower it overnight, but I can make a suggestion that has lowered my husband's blood pressure within 3 weeks and maintains it.\n\nIn the same way, my husband tried dietary changes and cardio workouts, but nothing worked until he added ViaViente to his diet.  It is a 100% natural, whole food juice.  After 3 weeks, he went from 140+ to 117.  After 3 months, he is at a stable 110.  He does not take any medications and no dietary supplements.  He swears by ViaViente.  I can only recommend it and hopefully your husband may want to give it a try because it's a natural way to keep his body operating at optimal levels.

I have noticed that you don't answer in this forum, you just ask. Why? \nStart answering and you will find it very relaxing. Practice aerobic, that is also relaxing and very easy to practice.\nQuit smoking ; nicotine is vasoconstrictive, that is a "smaller" amount of blood will arrive in your head when you will need to think about something.You know, when we think we need a bigger amount of blood in our head. Blood transports all nutrients and oxygen.If you haven't the correct amount, you will get at least the headache!\nIf you like natural treatments, start with an infusion of camomille,valeriane ecc. that you will prepare as written in the instructions of the confection, add a spoonful of honey and drink at least 1 - 2 cups before going to bed.\nLimit the daily intake of coffee, tea, Coca-Cola.\nThere are also some pills of herbal origin that can induce sleep.Be careful when you buy these products: buy them just from the pharmacy. \nGo shopping, if you like it and do whatever you like,ie. gardening, ecc.\nTake care on what you eat. This is not something of immediate effect, but it will help also in the future.\nEgg plants for example contain Mg(magnesium) that is helpful, because it helps relax.\n\nGood luck and start answering in this forum!\n\nKaterina\n\n\nYOHANA, I CAME BACK some hours after my answer, because I wanted to check if you have followed something of what we have told you. BUT, I realize that you haven't started to answer any questions in this group.\nYou have put just one more question and then you disappeared!\nWhat I have to suppose?\nWas my opinion sooooooo worthless OR you have implemented all the rest and then you went to sleep, so you are not available anymore?

Actually, your blood pressure is only a little high. There is a general rule of thumb that say, " 100 + your age, over 70ish". Of course that only gets you so far.\n\nQ's: What is your fat intake? Do you exercise? Are you under any undo stress? Has something changed drastically in your life?\n\nAll of these can increase your blood pressure. What does your Doctor say? If he wants to put you on medication with exploring other options, look for another Doctor.\n\nOtherwise, doing simple forms of meditation/yoga can actually help. This not coming from some woowoo philosophy. Concentrated focus on something as simple as you breathing actually helps the mind to "tune-out" all kinds of external pressures.\n\nJust a thought.\n-Alan

Warm baths, chamomile tea, a B-Complex vitamin daily, lavender scented things (soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, candles, incense).  Also prayer and/or meditation is helpful to some, as is exercise.  Eat properly, and get enough rest.

Prop them up and above your heart, back off of the salt, and make a deal with your self to kick back, and prop, several times a day.Try to keep your blood pressure normal.\n\nLymphatic fluid builds up in tissue, and unlike the heart, which is a pump for your blood steam,\n Lymp needs the action of your muscle and tissue to move the  (Metabolic Waste), into the blood steam to be removed by your many lymph glands. Rest is good, too much is not, so much to learn about ourselves. Some Viruses can Morph, so drink plenty of water, and eat healthy. If your weight is not proportionate to your bone structure, then I think you need to make a major deal with yourself.\n\nBy the way. When children are taking the drug Ritalin, they experience the same heavy feeling in their appendages. Elephant arms and legs. Oooooohhh what are we doing to the children...

Try drinking at least 2 8-ounce cups daily of green tea. Brew your own and allow to steep for 5-7 minutes. I drink a lot of green tea....6 cups daily with lemon. This wonderful tea gives the drinker lots of energy, provides phytonutrients and helps build the immune system. My blood pressure has stabilized....from 150/85 to 116/65 and my cholesterol levels are now normal. Walking 2 miles a day will help, too. You should get the same results by doing this as with the Phen Fen.

I have tried many ways to keep me alert but these are the ones that really works apart form coffee:\n\n1. GLUTAPHOS - it contains glutamic acid which stimulates excitatory nerves to transmit impulses faster. Take 1 just before you sleep and I guarantee that youll be up from your bed like a warrior when you wake up\n\n2. A COLD GLASS OF WATER - our body constantly needs pure water to function. Drink at least a glass every hour to keep your metabolic funcitons working\n\n3. GINSENG - its pretty much like an energy drink except that this one works better and has also many more advantages\n\n4. FISH OIL - enhances neuronal growth in the brain so it allows you to be a multitasking person. it also enhances blood circulation therefore delivering more oxygen to the brain.\n\n5. GINKGO BILOBA - a very effective food supplement if you also want to enhance memory. it also enhances the circulation and brings more oxygen to the brain. more oxygen to the brain, more alert.

Go to the healthfood store and buy echinacea (liquid works the best) and put it under your tongue a couple times a day and before you go to sleep.  And i swear by this... Eat 5 or 6 oranges in a row before you go to sleep and you'll wake up feeling fine.  Lots of water too and as much sleep as you can get.  Always works for me.

Simply get up for stretch breaks.  Walk around the area.  get enough sleep for starters.  Eat breakfast, have a small healthy snack, eat a small to medium sized lunch. Dont overdo it on the caffeine because when it wears off then that makes you sleepy.  Above all what helps me is a chocolate a day!!!!

You can try xanx.  Also I dont know if it will work for you, but I was prescribed Ritalin for my ADD and if I take a few of those, it puts me in a REAL good happy mood, like my dopamine is being increased.
