Another investigation has revealed proof that drinking coffee preceding activity can help the burning of fat.
Researchers in Spain have published a paper looking at the fat-consuming capability of coffee before exercise, and how its utilization at various times may impact the outcome. Although small, studies show that drinking strong coffee half an hour before aerobic exercise can significantly increase, what is known as maximal fat oxidation. The study was conducted by scientists in the Department of Environment at the University of Granada, and they focused on what is known as daily diversity, or how day and night cycles regulate various biological processes, in which case the human body loses fatty acids following coffee consumption.
The examination included 15 active men with age of 32 years who participated in four exercise sessions, separated for seven days. The subjects were given caffeine portions equivalent to a mug of coffee or a placebo at either 8 am or 5 pm, and carried out the physical activity half an hour later. The authors say other factors surrounding these sessions, such as fasting, exercise, or the use of other stimulants, were strongly established. Utilizing a strategy called indirect calorimetry, the researchers at that point estimated the maximal fat oxidation (MFO) rate during exercise and found that every one of the individuals who drank the strong coffee prematurely burned fatter.
Curiously, the group likewise found that the MFO rate, alongside the subjects' VO2 max, a typical aerobic measure, was "fundamentally higher" in the early evening. Strong coffee increased MFO by an average of 10.7% in the morning compared to the placebo group, instead of an average of 29% in the afternoon. With such a small sample size of working men of the same age, it is difficult to say how coffee consumption can affect fat burning in some demographics, such as women or sedentary women. However, research shows how this process can be influenced by the time of day in humans, the authors suggest that high doses of caffeine can also increase fatty foods in an area that requires further investigation.
