Hack to burn more fat cells
With our 3F System that helps everyone get guaranteed results - we go through Fitness, Food & FOCUS.
Today I'd like to go through some of the Focus stuff as it relates to mindset hacks that help with motivation and goal achievement.
You’ve heard about the mind-body-spirit connection, right? It turns out there is some real practical SCIENCE involved.
It’s science that will have you lacing up your workout trainers AND give you inspiration to pick up some weights! 🙂
Have you heard about “hope molecules”?
These are real, live molecules that are in your body – and they get released when you exercise, specifically when your muscles contract.
They are called myokines, [not to be confused with the Greek holiday island Mykonos!]and they’re a BIG topic of research. They can affect your mood, your immune system, and basically every organ in your body (even your brain).
- thinking about it, the sun and sea from the island of Mykonos helps with all of the above as well 🙂
Myokines are special chemicals that your muscles create when you contract them.
They travel through your bloodstream to your brain, and they act as an antidepressant, make you feel less stressed, and can help you learn.
PLUS … myokines can help:
● Reduce inflammation
● Control blood sugar
● Battle cancer cells
● Improve brain function
● Burn more fat as fuel
The only way to get these chemicals into your brain is to use your muscles!
Researchers started calling myokines “hope molecules” because they appear to work at the brain level to help it recover from stress.
So …. exactly HOW do you exercise to produce more myokine action in your body?
It really doesn’t matter – basically, just make sure your muscles contract. That could mean walking, biking, running, lifting weights, or any other continuous action that makes your muscles move.
Just another reason to feel good about including fitness as part of your self-care routine.
Make it an amazing day,
Jamie
