How chocolate will increase your workout (seriously)
A man reveals how daily rationing of dark chocolate gave him a better workout and saved him from the block of the writer.
Several years ago, I had a block ball of the writer hanging out for months. To repair it, I took a holistic approach and started going to the gym five times a week. After six months to hit the gym, the block of the writer is gone ... somehow. I was not back at the place where I had been and I was depressed, as writing is my life.
During these six months at the gym, I started to find that I had the endorphin of the legendary training only (at all) around the 45th minute of my workout of my time. On the other hand, the coaches of the gym appeared to have kites after a minute on a treadmill. I thought this and I asked my coach, Neil, if he knew stuff of vitamins or protein, or something that I could eat before coming to the gym, it could catalyze a rush to endorphin faster. He said he would ask his wife, a MD. I do not get my hopes, but it seemed plausible that a supplement would help. Like many of us, I visited protein proteins and, while I did not embrace this world, I do not think it may exist if there was no science behind all that.
The next day, Neil came to me with an answer: chocolate.
Chocolate?
His wife was not sure, but something in her studies suggested that it deserves to be tried. So I did not do, but not with standard cash center chocolate. I went for this bitter bitter and almost scientific black story sold at high-end food locations. After all, I wanted the chocolate molecule, not sugar and other things loaded with candy.
Did this work?
Yes. I found myself do not really high on endorphins, but my endurance (especially on the elliptical machine, my particular enemy) went Berserk. Fraud 15 minutes at low levels, I found that I could blow one hour on the elliptical feeling Jazzé in the end, not tired and old.
I am a cynic, so I suggested rather than surprised and happy. It must have been a coincidence. So I ate chocolate before going to the gym for the next two weeks, then the third week that I stroke. And ... I was back at the same old hungry brain of Endorphin I had before. A week without chocolate and I was back at where I started. So I started eating chocolate again and Wham! -I was Reddy Kilowatt.
I found that the effect is essentially easy to grow, and the best time to eat chocolate is an hour before hitting the gym. It is good advice and I put it back to anyone attempting to reinvigorate his gym visits.
But the strangest thing in all this was that the block of my writer is gone. In a flash. To be a slow producer, I became fast and verbal. The relief was remarkable.
I thought the block of my writer started. I had stomach burns at the time, so I had removed food from my diet that I thought I was bad for the condition. But instead of going online to learn which specific foods, I chose them the lazy way, stupid: by myself. Acidic foods such as grapefruit juice and orange juice have been eliminated as well as you guessed it, chocolate. So I have not only received physical benefits from my chocolate discovery, but I could also resolve a mystery.
Since then, every time I meet a writer, I ask you if he has ritual foods. Successful success all eat dark chocolate.
Frankly, I hate the taste of things these days. In my mind, it's no longer a food but a medicine. And when the thought of a more dark chocolate chocolate at the day is too much, I will go to the chocolate bars, which are not as efficient and that all that is undesirable there.
Sometimes I will try the Kozy-Shack chocolate pudding (which my doctor told me is the first favorite food for people undergoing cosmetic procedures). But even the pudding becomes dull after a moment. I wish they would put on chocolate in a tasteless capsule form, but it may be one of the most perverse things you can do with one of the most delicious foods of nature. People are fun creatures indeed.
