Can Coffee Burn Fat?

If you are on a weight loss and diet plan, you may be happy to know that recent studies have shown that coffee aids in fat burning!

One of the latest studies examined energy and fat burning on both younger and older men. The men within the study were moderate caffeinated coffee drinkers, and they both absorbed the caffeine in coffee well. This caused the metabolism to increase in both of the subject groups, with it being slightly higher in the group of younger men. The result was that both younger and older men saw a thermogenic result from ingesting caffeine, which is fat burning caused by caffeinated coffee drinking.

Last of all, there was a recent drink introduced in the Las Vegas International Society of Sports Nutrition Conference that had additions to a coffee beverage containing chromium, hydroxycitric acid, and bitter orange to boost the metabolism by up to 30%. I'll drink to that!

Can Coffee Improve Mental Focus?

A recent study from the University of Alberta showed the results of a group of 20 women ages 18 to 37 in coffee improving their alertness and mental focus!

The study compared 10 women who were regular coffee drinkers and 10 who had less than two servings of coffee on a weekly basis. The women that drank a cup of coffee immediately after breakfast were able to perform well on a mental test, showing that even one cup of coffee provides a dramatic benefit in increasing alertness and mental focus.

The bottom line is that regular coffee consumption at up to 2 to 3 cups per day is a wonderful way to maintain energy levels, improve focus, and drink to your health!

How Much Caffeine Does Coffee Have?

This is a very interesting question, and it is important for you to know if you are using coffee to get through your day. You may be interested to find out that drip brewed coffee has more caffeine than espresso because the coffee grounds stay in contact with the water for a longer period of time, making them more caffeinated.

An 8 ounce cup of drip brewed coffee will have anywhere from 60 to 120 mg of caffeine. A 2 ounce shot of double espresso will have 45 to 100 mg of caffeine. You can compare these amounts to a 12 ounce can of soda, which has around 35 mg of caffeine. As you can see, drip brewed coffee packs the best punch, which also does include other methods of coffee brewing, like the French Press.

It is best to drink your coffee spread out throughout the day in small amounts so that you will stay energized and not experience any caffeine crashes!

What Is In Coffee?


Coffee is a complex and delicious beverage, and you may be interested to know some of the components that make up your cup of Joe.

Water: An ideal cup of Joe should be 98.75% water and made up of 1.25% of plant matter. Recent studies have shown that regular coffee drinking can be counted within your daily fluid intake because it does not dehydrate you as much as it was once thought to.
Caffeine: Coffee also does contain caffeine, and the reason that coffee plants are naturally caffeinated is because it is a built-in insect repellent.
Quinic Acid: This acid quality will work to give a brightness to your coffee. Some coffees have a light acidity, while others have a bold acidity.
Acetylmethylcarbinol: This is a substance that can be found in real butter to give it flavor. It also can be found in the artificial flavoring on microwave popcorn, so it will give a smoother taste to your cup of Joe.
Antioxidants: This is one of the most important parts of your cup of Joe because they will provide you with age and disease fighting qualities that will keep you protected and strong!

Australian Doctors Advised To Drink More Coffee

Why in the world would the Queensland Health Department recommend for Australian doctors to drink more coffee? This was a guideline set in place by the Queensland Health Department regarding fatigue in doctors on the job.

The Queensland Health Department does defend themselves by saying that they did first of all advocate that all doctors should get the proper amount of rest, and then they recommended that they should drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee each day to use the caffeine to help them stay alert and focused on the job. The Australian Medical Association was appalled by this recommendation because they felt that it was careless advice, especially when people's lives were on the line.

Regardless of your job, keep in mind that it is important to get enough rest, but you can also use the caffeine in coffee as a helpful stimulant when you drink your Java in moderation. It is recommended to split up your coffee drinking throughout the day so that you don't experience a caffeine crash, and you also will keep your metabolism high as a result.

Do Light Roasts Have Less Caffeine Than Dark Roasts?

Many people are fooled by the common coffee myth that dark roasts have more caffeine than light roasts because they have a fuller and more robust flavor. However, quite the opposite is true!

A dark roast is roasted for a longer period of time, which means that it ends up burning off some of its weight in caffeine during the lengthy roasting process. This means that pound for pound, a light roast will have more caffeine than a dark roast. Furthermore, keep in mind that Robusta beans actually have twice the caffeine as Arabica beans, though they are not the preferred coffee bean type because they are seen as cheaper fillers with a lower quality taste.

When you're considering a cup of Joe, a regular cup of coffee will have more caffeine than a shot of espresso because of the extraction time. An espresso is extracted for ideally around 25 seconds, and a cup of coffee can take up to four minutes to extract. This means that the fresh coffee grounds are in contact with the hot water for longer, leaving more caffeine in the final cup of Joe.

For a quick fix with the most caffeine, try a light roast to wake you up!

Does Coffee Improve Work Performance?


This is a very interesting topic, and it turns out that the answer is yes! I know everyone is currently celebrating at this news, but let me explain to you the science behind this process.

Caffeine is actually a stimulant, so it will work to improve your focus and increase attention span. This is precisely why coffee is proven to improve mental performance and also elevate the mood, making it perfect for the work environment. The best way to drink your coffee is to have a cup of Joe at the beginning of the day, so the caffeine can directly move to your brain within 20 minutes. This wonderful effect will last for up to six hours, which is precisely why it is recommended to split up your coffee consumption so that you can have these benefits all day long without a nasty caffeine crash.

Furthermore, when you're ending your productive work day thanks to your beloved coffee, be sure to have another cup before you go to the gym because caffeine and coffee also improve physical performance. You can work out stronger and harder with better results, all thanks to a little Java that goes a long way!

Are You Ready To Wear Your Coffee?

This is such a fantastic concept, and I am surprised that it has not been thought of earlier, but Jason Chen of Taiwan has created a clothing line using discarded coffee grounds. This is specifically a sportswear line, and the fabric is formulated in such a way that it uses about 1 cup of coffee grounds for several garments.

Since it is a sportswear line, it is lightweight and easy to wear. It also works to wick away moisture from your skin, so it keeps you from smelling badly and being drenched in sweat when you are working out. This is an eco-friendly clothing line, and these garments are best for active and outdoor wear. The fabric is breathable, and it is also UV resistant, so you will get a great run for your money.

Apparently, the creator had the idea for his coffee ground clothing line when he was sipping a cup of Joe at Starbucks, and I am loving it. The only drawback I can think of is that you will not get a contact high from the caffeine in the coffee while wearing the clothes. I wish!

What You Need To Know About Coffee



Coffee has a lot of fun facts behind it, so where do I even begin?

First of all, why is coffee naturally caffeinated? The word on the street is that there is currently a coffee plant being cultivated that is 70% decaffeinated, but other than that, coffee plants naturally contain caffeine for the mere reason that it is an insect repellent. Robusta beans do have a higher caffeine content, which means that they can grow in more difficult conditions, like lower altitudes. The other type of coffee bean, Arabica, does have a lower caffeine content, and it is more delicate in its growing conditions. This makes it the more expensive and premium variety.

Next, when it comes to brewing your cup of Joe, is it best to use a gold tone or paper filter? The gold tone filter is a fantastic addition to many premium coffee makers, and it is preferable because paper filters do remove the essential oils within the coffee grounds that can make for a more delicious final product. If you want your coffee to taste the best, as well as being eco-friendly without the use of paper filters, then check out a gold tone filter for great taste.

I hope these Java facts have been fun and helpful to perk you up!

Coffee is a Cellulite Cure


There is nothing better than having a hot cup of Joe - unless you are able to use it as a beauty remedy, that is! Now you can brew yourself up a fresh pot of coffee, and then also use the old coffee grounds to apply directly to your skin to shrink the appearance of cellulite. Yes, this really works, and this is something that you should do 2 to 3 times per week. The best way to achieve this is to massage the old coffee grounds into your skin within the area of cellulite concern, and you will want to cover the area up with Saran wrap to keep it from being messy, and leave for about half an hour.

Another more conventional and less messy way to do this is to look for some of the newer beauty products coming out using these exact ingredients, coffee and caffeine, to work as a vasodilators and shrink the blood vessels in the areas that have cellulite. Caffeine will also work to push water out of these fat cells, which causes the cottage cheese look of cellulite, so you have a smoother and more sculpted body overall. Delicious!

Coffee Burns Calories!

Fantastic news, your cup of Joe is keeping you slim! There are some catches to this, meaning that you can't drink coffee drinks from large chains loaded with sugar and fat because that is negating your weight loss progress, but overall, the caffeine content in coffee is causing your metabolism to be charging throughout the day, even when you're at rest. This is perfect for anyone working in an office type setting because even when you are seated, you are still burning calories from your cup of Joe. I would also like to add that if you are drinking your coffee black, not only is it sugar and calorie free, but that is where the true deep taste and finish of the naked cup of Joe come into play that a true coffee connoisseur can appreciate. If that doesn't work for you, then you can also use Splenda or other calorie free sweeteners to keep your coffee skinny and your waist slim. I spoke in the last post about coffee enhancing a workout, which goes hand-in-hand with the metabolism boost that it gives you for weight loss. I would have to say that overall, coffee can be used as a powerful drink and diet friendly tool to help you shed some inches. Nice!

Drink Your Coffee, Work Out Harder


One of the latest and greatest studies that I have heard out there recently I feel that I must share with you. Not only is coffee my obsession and passion, but I am now finding out that it promotes exercise and relieves muscle soreness and pain! This may seem too good to be true, but I assure you, it is not. There was a small study showing that when a group of men cycled after having a few cups of coffee beforehand, then their results of pain and soreness were dramatically reduced. The simple reason behind this is that the caffeine in coffee blocks some of the chemicals your body makes when it is inflamed from exercise and soreness, so therefore, you are getting the benefit of the workout, without the nasty "workout hangover" afterward where you feel you can barely move from soreness and stiff muscles. I don't know about you, but this 100% makes me want to jump on an exercise bike and sip a latte. Seriously.
