Organic coffee
|
Why you should drink coffee before you WOD (workout of the
day). Coffee has some very beneficial aspects for the activate person, more than you
might think. Other than being a "must" for many people first thing in the AM
before they tackle anything, caffeine has been found to help continue to burn
calories for up to three hours post workout at a fifteen percent increase as
compared to that of the placebo per the InternationalJournal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.
Coffee also has the added benefit of helping you burn fat, yes I said burn fat. Caffeine has been help proven to burn fat at an increase of 10% to 29%. The
reason that many "weight pills" contain caffeine is because it is a
natural fat burner. What better way to get your caffeine is there than through a cup of organic coffee.
Caffeine helps to stimulate the nervous system. In doing so it helps break down the fat cells in the body by turning them into energy.
As with anything that is good for
you the key is to not overdo it. The recommend amount of caffeine to have
is 6 mg per 2.2lbs of body weight. For
example if you weigh 175 you should have 477 mg of caffeine, which is about 20oz
of coffee.
So feel free to drink that coffee before
you work out!
