Coffee is one of those drinks which a lot of people swear by and others are cautious about the amount of coffee they drink. As a personal trainer I wanted to shed some light on the advantages, risks and specifics about coffee and cafeine.
Advantages of Drinking Coffee
Disadvantages and risks of Drinking Coffee
Specifics of Drinking Coffee
The caffeine in coffee can be useful as a stimulant before a training session. When you drink coffee in moderation and your body is not used to high quantities of caffeine, a cup of coffee will be a stimulant for your central nervous system (6,8) and can improve your aerobic endurance performance (7).
Conclusion
So overall it is very beneficial for you to consume a moderate amount of coffee. If you feel that you need more coffee to make it through the day, you should review your sleeping habits. It also is important to look into the method you make the coffee: a paper filter reduces some unwanted side effects.
I hope I managed to give you some more clarity on the specifics, advantages and risks of coffee. Hopefully you will manage to implement this in your routine. If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or get in touch through the Contact Page.
