You only get one Take care of it, and it will take care of you

 You can get an implant for a missing tooth. You can get a prosthesis, a mechanical limb to use if one of your arms or legs is damaged or lost. You can even get a transplant if your heart, lungs or kidneys wear out.

But you only get one brain – there are no replacement parts for the contents of your skull. And that means that of course you need a little luck, but it also calls for developing good habits to improve your brain health and avoid the behaviors or conditions that hurt, injure, inflame or otherwise destroy your brain.

So, your best practices for the care and feeding of your brain include enough sleep, good food, sufficient water and exercise, and using your mind creatively and actively to retain and enhance your mental acuity. Reducing your stress through massage, meditation, prayer or some other relaxation techniques is also necessary.

Chiropractic adjustments and proper spinal movement have been shown to nourish and stimulate the brain toward better function. And of course you must avoid injury to the best of your ability, either severe head trauma or repetitive micro-injuries from sequential bumps and bruises, like in contact sports, for example.

If you take good care of your brain, you will get amazing and powerful service from it. If not, then you have to wonder just how long you can remain consistent with life itself. The good news is, there’s plenty you can do to tip the scales in your favor – you just actually have to make the effort to do it. If you have any specific questions about how to better take care of your brain or overall health, then please do not hesitate to call or text us at 215-259-5100.

Stimulants increase the activity of certain brain chemicals, especially dopamine and norepinephrine.

 Amphetamines, like other stimulants, increase the activity of certain brain chemicals, especially dopamine and norepinephrine. 

Here’s how they act and their effects on mood:

Action in the Brain: Amphetamines stimulate the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are chemicals involved in mood regulation, alertness, and pleasure. By enhancing these neurotransmitters, amphetamines increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and boost concentration.

Mood Changes:

Euphoria and Confidence: Many users feel a rush of euphoria, increased confidence, and energy due to heightened dopamine levels. This can make social interactions feel more enjoyable and make the person feel more capable.

Excitement and Hyperactivity: High energy levels can lead to feelings of excitement or restlessness, sometimes resulting in hyperactive behaviors.

Anxiety and Agitation: As the effects wear off, some people may feel jittery, anxious, or irritable, especially if they've taken a large dose.

Irritability and Sadness After Effects: The "crash" or comedown can bring intense feelings of sadness or irritability as dopamine levels drop, sometimes lasting for days.

Repeated use or high doses of amphetamines can have serious health effects, including increased risk of dependence, cardiovascular issues, and mental health impacts.

At concerts, including those by artists like Alan Walker, some attendees may use stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, or illicit substances like amphetamines or cocaine to enhance energy and alertness. However, the specific substances used can vary widely among individuals. It's important to note that the use of illegal drugs poses significant health risks and is often prohibited at concert venues. Attending events sober is the safest way to enjoy the experience.

You have learned the anatomy and physiology of the drug interaction, neurotransmitter, uptake. You've learned about how drugs interact with your body, the roles of neurotransmitters, and how uptake mechanisms work. 

Remember, it’s your own body, so you have the right to make your choices.

 But consider carefully any decision you make can affect you in the long run, and you’re the one who may face the consequences one day.

It's your own body do whatever you want! 

You are the one will suffer one day!
