Here is why you should include caffeine in your diet.
1) Caffeine drinkers weigh less
An analysis of some 18,000 individuals showed that caffeine and coffee users weigh less than those who don’t take any caffeine.
2) Caffeine increases energy expenditure and thermogenesis
Using energy to raise body heat is a great way to help burn fat, and caffeine does that well. But that is not all. Caffeine also lowers insulin and glucose, helping users become more metabolically healthy.
3) Caffeine helps you burn more fat during exercise
Caffeine has a glycogen-sparing effect, meaning fat will be preferentially used as fuel during exercise.
4) Caffeine breaks up stored fat so it can be burned
This is called raising free fatty acids. Caffeine helps the body snip up stored fat so it can be burned inside the mitochondria.
5) Caffeine assists with many aspects of cognition
From increases in reaction time to concentration, memory, word recall, and attention span, caffeine helps with it all.
6) Caffeine improves cardiovascular fitness, strength, and power performance
Caffeine use before exercise increases work output and cardiovascular fitness without putting you at risk for heart disease, according to researchers in South Korea.
7) Caffeine reduces perceived exertion and blunts the pain response
This means that you can really push yourself at the gym, and it doesn’t feel as painful or challenging.
8) Swishing caffeine around in your mouth before exercise may increase exercise performance
Studies in sprinters have shown that caffeine swished around in the mouth may further enhance athletic performance and reduce the perceived exertion of exercise. Give this a shot.[8]
9) Green Coffee reduces cortisol production
Fat cells contain an enzyme called 11β-HSD1, which activates cortisol from its inactive metabolite cortisone. Green coffee, it appears, slows down this enzyme.
10) Super-high doses of caffeine are not needed
Scientists in Canada recently revealed that we don’t need super-high doses of caffeine to improve our ability to burn fat and exercise more intensely. Around 100 mg will do the job.
