## Resource

New science reveals that sniffing dark chocolate before your workout might help you crush more reps—and feel less hungry afterward. In a study, guys who smelled dark chocolate aroma during leg exercises did significantly more reps than those who sniffed water, with even milk chocolate offering a boost. Researchers believe the scent tricks your body into expecting satisfaction, boosting performance and reducing appetite. Could other food smells have similar effects? Maybe—more research is needed, but this is a wild, sensory-powered fitness hack. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
