Unfortunately, most women fail at arm toning not because they aren’t exercising or eating right, but because they can’t sustain a high level of motivation for prolonged periods of time. Many start the race, but few finish it.
And our society aggravates this problem because it focuses so much on supplements and one-trick wonders. We are obsessed with synthetic foods that are going to alleviate all our problems. We should be obsessed, however, with ways to increase our mental stamina.
After all, any woman will get some type of result even from a mediocre program as long as she sticks with it. Learning the psychological game can be tough, however. Thus, today I am going to reveal 5 mood foods you can take for an immediate boost in motivation (no thinking required):
1. Lung ching green tea. Also known as dragon well green tea, this stuff is amazing. And it’s far superior to bagged green tea. You will get an immediate and strong surge in mental focus after having a hefty portion of loose leaf.
2. Organic cocoa. If you like chocolate, you will love cocoa powder. You see, cocoa powder is chocolate on steroids but without the added sugars or fats. You can expect an immediate flood of feel good feelings and an increase in circulation (as demonstrated by Harvard researchers) when taking cocoa.
3. True cinnamon. Called Ceylon cinnamon, it comes from Sri Lanka and it’s far superior to the cinnamon you get in the grocery store. How do you tell the difference? Regular cinnamon is hollow inside, Ceylon isn’t. Combining Ceylon with green tea will give you some massive mood increases.
4. Organic yerba mate. You have to be careful with this one because it’s very potent. But safe nonetheless. Another loose leaf tea, yerba mate has the potential to keep you alert and happy for up to 8 hours. Let me repeat that, yerba mate can give you a mental boost for up to 8 hours. But you have to start with low doses and asses tolerance.
5. Water! I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but bear with me. Women are more dehydrated than ever because of caffeine. You see, our bodies build up a tolerance to its stimulatory effects, but don’t build up a tolerance to its diuretic effects. So every time you increase the size of that latte or have another cup of extra dark to get that same energy jolt back, you are dehydrating yourself more and more. And dehydration causes massive mental fogginess which will leave you very cranky.
If more women starting focusing on their minds instead of the next wonder pill, more women would achieve successful arm toning. So make sure you take the above nootropics any time you feel the motivation beginning to flag. Stick with it, and you will get sexy arms. I promise.
