Coffee can also keep you healthy? Drink coffee to nourish your body?

Coffee is the most popular drink in the world. People like coffee more and more, whether at home, in the office, people drink coffee is a feeling, is a fashion, is a leisure, is a culture. Have you heard that coffee can also be healthy?

In Australia, tests of athletes who consumed low amounts of caffeine showed they could train 30 percent longer than athletes who did not drink coffee. The results were also 36% higher than usual.

The body's preferred source of energy for exercise is usually carbohydrates stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. Only after carbohydrate reserves are depleted (usually requiring more than 60 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise). Fat is metabolized as a source of energy, resulting in weight loss. But researchers at the Australia Institute of Exercise in Canberra have found that caffeine contains substances that allow muscles to burn fat directly during exercise rather than the usual carbohydrates.

The effect of caffeine on fat metabolism was discovered by scientists studying exercise performance. They found that cyclists who drank mild coke or coffee during races rode faster and farther than those who drank water.

Jane griffin, a sports nutritionist and consultant to britain's olympic team, said the findings could be important for anyone who exercises regularly. "A cup of coffee or cola, when absorbed by the body, can quickly promote fat dissolution into the bloodstream, allowing the body to use fat as a primary source of energy before converting limited carbohydrate reserves into energy," she said.
