subject: 5 Nootropics That Will Make Arm Sculpting That Much Easier [print this page] How is increasing your mood related to arm toning? Well, I have some surprising news, most women fail to get toned arms because they are unable to maintain motivation for prolonged periods of time. Most of us can start strong, but very few of us can finish strong.
One of the main issues, however, is that we live in a society that is so focused on the next best thing. In this case, the next best pill that will solve all your arm toning problems. The key, however, is to focus on the mind.
Doing this the old fashioned way, with psychology, can get tedious. And there are going to be times when the stresses of life will overcome us. So today I am going to discuss 5 brain boosting foods that will spike your motivation on demand:
1. Loose leaf green tea: Consumed by emperors for centuries, dragon well loose leaf green tea is far superior to any other green tea for mental enhancement. You will get an immediate surge in mental focus and overall mood. And the best part is that you don't get a crash.
2. Unprocessed cocoa powder: You know that feel good feeling you get when eating chocolate? Well, multiply that by 20 and that's what natural cocoa will do for you. The trick here is to make sure it's organic and non-alkalized. Don't be fooled into buying all the sugar and fat-laden varieties.
3. Ceylon cinnamon: Also known as true cinnamon, it's far superior to the cinnamon you are used to consuming. Ceylon can be identified by its cigar look since its rolls are not hollow. Combining a stick of Ceylon with loose leaf green tea will pack a powerful punch. It will also increase insulin sensitivity which translates into more energy going to your brain.
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.
We live in a society of starters, not in a society of finishers. Every single little thing you can do to increase motivation and enhance mood, will increase your probabilities of arm toning success. The nice thing about these mood foods is that you can ingest them and get an automatic boost.
One more thing: make sure you take action on this advice. You see, information is useless unless you act upon it and internalize it.
