[the fat-burning function of coffee]

Recently, many health food (specific health food) certified coffee drinks on the market, and declared that "coffee has the effect of burning fat", I believe everyone is no stranger. The effect of burning fat in coffee is known to be dominated by caffeine and chlorogenic acid in coffee.

When it comes to caffeine, it is often considered a bad thing, but in fact it has a variety of effects and is closely related to fat burning.

To burn body fat, body fat must be broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, which is broken down by a substance called lipase, a fat-decomposing enzyme produced by the pancreas. Caffeine can activate this lipase.

In addition, caffeine also activates brown fat cells that burn fat and turn fat into heat. In addition to caffeine, coffee also contains niacin (nicotinic acid, vitamin B3). It is a completely different ingredient from nicotine in cigarettes and is a vitamin that promotes the decomposition of neutral fat and reduces neutral fat.

On the other hand, the coffee beverage of healthy food has a special focus on bleaching acid in terms of the publicity effect of burning fat. Fatty acids are broken down in the body and then transported to the "power plant" ── mitochondria (mitochondria), which burns fatty acids and carbohydrates, and then burns. Bleach acid can promote the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria.

In other words, coffee can promote fat decomposition and make decomposed fat easy to burn.

─ Flower King, the manufacturer of health food, coffee and beverages, conducted an experiment of drinking one cup of bleached acid beverage for 12 weeks a day on nine visceral obese men and women with 100 ○. The results are said to have lost an average of 1.5 kilograms of weight and 9.3 square centimeters of abdominal fat. In order to achieve the purpose of objective investigation, this experiment adopted a double-blind experiment, that is, the experimental method removed the effect of placebo (placebo).

The subjects were divided into two groups: one group drank coffee drinks containing 300 milligrams of bleached lignin, and the other group drank coffee drinks without bleached lignin, and then compared. As a result, only bleaching acid has the effect of burning fat, not caffeine.

In addition, Norway has done similar experiments. Thirty obese subjects were divided into two groups: ──-fortified instant coffee drinking group and general instant coffee drinking group. The changes of body weight and body fat percentage were compared over a period of 12 weeks. The average daily intake of bleached lignin in the bleaching acid fortified group was about 1000 mg, while that in the general instant coffee group was about 500 mg. The results showed that the body weight and body fat rate of the enhanced bleach sour coffee group decreased by an average of 5.4 kg and 3% respectively, which had a significant effect on the reduction of body weight and body fat rate.

As for the experimental group that drank ordinary instant coffee, it was regrettable that there was no significant statistical effect, but as far as the results were concerned, it could also produce a significantly lower tendency if it continued. If it had been a little longer, there might have been a significant difference.

We often see reports that ─ "a certain ingredient in food ingredients has a weight loss effect!" "however, after careful study of papers and other textual research, we will often find examples that cannot be realized in real life, such as if you do not ingest a bucket a day, you will not be able to get the desired results.

For this part, coffee-related studies all set the amount of bleaching acid used in the experiment at a normal level that did not disrupt the daily diet balance.

The amount of bleached lignin in coffee varies according to the type of coffee beans and the way they are roasted, so it is not easy to standardize the content. In the case of drip coffee, it is said that an average cup of coffee is about 15 to 325 milligrams, while instant coffee is about 55 to 240 milligrams.

From the results of the study, if you want to use regular coffee to achieve the effect of burning fat, it seems more appropriate to use about three cups a day (a cup of 150 milliliters) as a rough standard.

● coffee contains ingredients that break down fat and promote fat burning. About three cups a day can be expected to have the effect of burning fat.

[use coffee to increase metabolic rate]

Caffeine has the effect of increasing metabolic rate. Several studies have shown that the caffeine intake of one cup of coffee increases the metabolic rate by 3% to 5% about three hours after drinking, while the intake of three cups increases the metabolic rate by about 1 ○%. In the case of people with a basal metabolism of about 1600 calories (about this number for men in their thirties), drinking a cup of coffee every three hours increases the metabolic calories by about 30 calories.

Maybe some people will think contemptuously, "what!" Only 30 calories a day? "but after accumulating, there are 900 calories a month, which reaches 10950 calories a year. In addition, the amount of calories needed to lose one kilogram of weight is about 7,000 calories.

Incidentally, even if you add one kilogram of muscle, you can increase your calorie consumption by about 30 calories a day. It means you don't have to do anything, just drink three cups of coffee a day and you can lose 1.5 kilograms a year.

Some people may say, "it's only 1.5 kilograms!" "but didn't you even lose five kilos? This is simply the effect of caffeine, which can be expected to have the same effect if you drink other caffeinated drinks such as green or black tea (recent studies have also reported that green tea can lose weight).

However, in addition to caffeine, there are other ingredients in coffee, such as the fat-burning effect of bleaching acid, so the effect on weight loss actually seems to be more desirable.

The increased metabolism of caffeine in three cups of ● coffee can reduce weight by one or five kilograms a year.
