Plus, coffee contains vitamins and minerals that our bodies need, such as calcium, magnesium, chromium, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid (the last two are b-vitamins).
2. Caffeine is good for your fitness (Caffeine and ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE!)!
It delays the use of glycogen during endurance exercise by increasing your body's use of fat for energy! Is that awesome or what!? Save up the really perfect fuel (glycogen) for when you are more tired, and use up that junk fuel (fat) that we want to get rid of anyway!
It also makes physical activity "seem" easier, mentally! SO cool! Who doesn't want their workout to appear to be as easy as possible?!
It may also increase testosterone which is important for strength, gaining muscle, and decreasing fat.
3. Caffeine is also known to improve MENTAL PERFORMANCE by increasing:
ALERTNESS
Focus
Concentration
Energy
Efficiency
Vigor
Clear-headedness
Wahoo for caffeine and mental performance!
