TEXTO:
Coffee isn’t just warm and energizing, it may also
be extremely good for you. In recent years and decades,
scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various
aspects of health and their results have been nothing
[5] short of amazing.
Coffee doesn’t just keep you awake, it may literally
make you smarter as well. The active ingredient in coffee
is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly
consumed psychoactive substance in the world.
[10] Caffeine’s primary mechanism in the brain is blocking
the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called
Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of
Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in
the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like
[15] dopamine and norepinephrine. Many controlled trials have
examined the effects of caffeine on the brain,
demonstrating that caffeine can improve mood, reaction
time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function.
There’s a good reason why you will find caffeine in
[20] most commercial fat burning supplements. Caffeine,
partly due to its stimulant effect on the central nervous
system, both raises metabolism and increases the
oxidation of fatty acids. Caffeine can also improve athletic
performance by several mechanisms, including by
[25] mobilizing fatty acids from the fat tissues.
Type II diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease
that has reached epidemic proportions, having increased
10-fold in a few decades and now afflicting about 300
million people. In observational studies, coffee has been
[30] repeatedly associated with a lower risk of diabetes. The
reduction in risk ranges from 23% all the way up to 67%.
A massive review article looked at 18 studies with a total
of 457.922 participants. Each additional cup of coffee
per day lowered the risk of diabetes by 7%. The more
[35] coffee people drank, the lower their risk.
