Drinking a certain number of coffees each day can maximise your workout and help you shed the pounds, nutrition and diet expert Michael Mosley has said.
Coffee is well-known for its ability to help us stay awake by increasing our energy levels and alertness - but the stimulating caffeine in the drink can also boost your exercise results. Dr Mosley explained that coffee is also rich in polyphenols - antioxidants that have powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
Speaking on his BBC podcast Just One Thing, he said: “Surprisingly, drinking coffee not only picks us up mentally, but has been shown to boost up performance in all sorts of other ways, including increasing the amount of fat you burn while doing exercise and improving endurance so you can keep going for longer.”
