2. Helps burn fat
Drinking one or two cups of coffee a day may be good for you if you’re trying to lose weight and abdominal fat.
Studies have shown that a cup of coffee (containing 100 mg of caffeine) helps increase your metabolism and burn fat at a faster rate, which positively affects weight loss. Caffeine does this by stimulating the nervous system, causing signals to be sent to your fat cells to break down body fat. This helped previously obese adults burn up to 79 kcal more per day and had an anti-obesity effect.
It has also been shown to improve athletic performance and endurance during exercise. Caffeine allows an athlete to train longer and more potently. It was also shown to improve endurance levels and fatigue resistance. Drinking coffee for at least an hour to no less than 30 minutes before exercising seems to provide the best results.
Just these two reasons alone are impressive enough to drink more coffee, especially before you go to the gym!
