Abstract：
Popularly known as dopaminergic detox or dopamine fasting, it is a concept that aims at reducing dependence on instant satisfaction gratification and overstimulation to attain mental clarity, lessen anxiety, and be able to enjoy everyday events again. Digital detox has been a part of the dopamine fasting concept for several years now. However, some critics argue that this notion has no scientific proof behind it and may fail to deal with the problem of dopamine dysregulation. Some intense types of dopamine fasting which include extreme isolation or strict dieting can result in damage to mental health as well as physical fitness. The objective of the article is to understand what dopamine fasting means and see the literature and evidence available on the topic. Indexes like PubMed, Scopus, OVID, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords to understand the existing knowledge about dopamine fasting. The literature review was then written to incorporate the understanding in a way that can be implemented practically. Recent studies have shown that individuals who engage in dopamine-fasting-like ideologies may experience reduced impulsive behaviors, increased focus on tasks, and reduced overwhelm. However, extreme forms of dopamine fasting can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and malnutrition, which can have detrimental effects on mental and physical health. Hence, the effects of dopamine fasting can vary greatly among individuals, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It is essential to consider individual needs and preferences when incorporating dopamine fasting into one\'s lifestyle and explore alternative practices that align with the principles of dopamine fasting. Understanding and respecting these differences is crucial in determining the most suitable strategies for maintaining a balanced dopamine response and overall psychological health. The benefits of dopamine fasting can be tremendous if done correctly but it depends on every individual to find the correct way and in the modern day, the practices can become tough to implement.
摘要：
俗称多巴胺能排毒或多巴胺禁食，它是一个概念，旨在减少对即时满意满足和过度刺激的依赖，以达到精神上的清晰度，减轻焦虑，并能够再次享受日常活动。数字排毒多年来一直是多巴胺禁食概念的一部分。然而,一些批评家认为，这种观点背后没有科学证据，可能无法解决多巴胺失调的问题。一些强烈类型的多巴胺禁食，包括极端隔离或严格节食，可能会损害心理健康和身体健康。本文的目的是了解多巴胺禁食的含义，并查看有关该主题的文献和证据。像PubMed这样的索引，Scopus,OVID,Embase,和GoogleScholar使用关键字进行搜索，以了解有关多巴胺禁食的现有知识。然后撰写文献综述，以一种可以实际实施的方式纳入理解。最近的研究表明，从事多巴胺禁食样意识形态的人可能会经历减少的冲动行为，更加注重任务，减少压倒。然而,极端形式的多巴胺禁食会导致孤独感，焦虑,营养不良，会对身心健康产生不利影响。因此，多巴胺禁食的效果在个体之间差异很大，没有一刀切的方法。在将多巴胺禁食纳入一个人的生活方式时，必须考虑个人的需求和偏好，并探索与多巴胺禁食原则相一致的替代做法。理解和尊重这些差异对于确定维持平衡的多巴胺反应和整体心理健康的最合适策略至关重要。多巴胺禁食的好处可以是巨大的，如果做得正确，但它取决于每个人找到正确的方式，在现代，这些做法可能会变得难以实现。
