Drink fresh and natural coffee. But be careful with sugar. Do not abuse one, caffeine intakes from all(!) sources up to 400 mg per day* (four 8-oz cups of coffee), but do not forget that the body gets the caffeine from other sources, such as tea.
Study the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, found* that moderate consumption of coffee helps preserve health and prolong life. People consumption less than 5 cups per day experienced a lower risk of deaths from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, Type 2 diabetes and suicide. However: the positive effect is not due to caffeine, but some other active ingredient contained in coffee beans.
Caffeine has given an edge to tennis players, cyclists, soccer players, runners, rowers, and others in scientific studies. In some trials, the stimulant boosted athletes' speed. In others, it helped them last longer before they spent all their energy. Some studies show that caffeine can curb soreness after exercise , too. This means you could get back to your training sooner. Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston: many studies have linked moderate coffee intake to lower risks of developing various diseases -- from heart disease and diabetes to liver cancer, to neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's.
BUT! Studies* show that people who kept their daily coffee intake steady at one cup a day were in the best mental shape compared to others with more erratic coffee habits. Conclusion, steady, moderate consumption gets the best results. Erratic consumption—especially increasing your habit—and no consumption are comparatively bad options. It means you shouldn’t start drinking coffee in the hopes of getting health benefits.
1Here about not the soluble coffee or any drinks close to coffee. Any additional presale processing violates the wholeness and benefit of the grain. You reached the best results only if you grind grain directly before preparing the drink. Furthermore, any additives: sugar, milk, cream, etc., changing properties of the beverage.
