Reward system regulates our needs, wellbeing and health: center of interest since the origin of human thought and science (history+geography of medicine).From 1950s it is discovered and scientifically described. (1)Last year at the Meetings International Roma conference I talked about reward pillars then published on PubMed: reward regulates life needs, rights, duties. Reward strategies are diet, fitness, mindfulness, affective life, sleep, others.Health is a human right, in the sense of feeling good without taking drugs.Food is a right, Vandana Shiva focuses on bioechology, the respect of our planet (2). Seigaku remembers we should eat in a zen way (3). A rewarding diet is based on fasting and eating pleasant foods.Muscle is a secretory organ, regulating metabolism. Endorphins act like acupuncture being opioids. Fit is better than thin (4). Mind: relaxation techniques are to apply. Empowerment is important at work (5), slowness is to live at home (6). Emotions are also to focus: universally they are six (7). Affective life. Bonding is the main feeling linking kids and parents: we should live and encourage it. Montessori focused on infancy needs.Sleep is a right too.Others: artherapy is basilar in sickness condition and to improve: it releases our deepest emotions and also phytotherapy is to know (8, 9).To conclude dopamine is also a growth factor (Montalcini and followers – 11-15), linked with our needs, a basis for life and wellness. Reward is the human rights system.
