5 Foods That Can Help You Accelerate Arm Toning

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

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.

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. Dragon well tea. Also known as loose leaf green tea, this is the best tea you can drink for an immediate boost in mental energy. And loose leaf teas are far superior to bagged teas, by leaps and bounds.

2. Non-alkalized cocoa powder. Most women like chocolate, thus most women will become addicted to cocoa powder. Imagine the effect you get from chocolate and increase it by an order of magnitude. This stuff will give you an immediate surge of relaxed, feel good feelings.

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. You can tell the difference because 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.

Brain boosting foods are a great tool for increasing motivation when arm toning is the last thing you want to think about. Figuring out how to win the mental game is the most important part of this whole process. If you can keep levels of motivation high for extended periods of time, you will reach your goal.

Finally, I would like to point out that if you let this information sit in your head, it will be rendered useless. You have to act on it so that you don't forget it. - 17273
