This is cool! After cleaning the kitty litter boxes out decided to make a pot of dark roast organic coffee so ground some beans and got the brew started while going out to dump the spent kitty litter. This was to enhance my work abilities or some would call it exercising, working in the garden. What is cool while drinking my black coffee sat before the computer to see what jumped out at me and here was this article concerning the benefits of coffee before exercise. Confirmation of a great choice of beverage prior to my workout and after will consume a couple of raw eggs from my farmer friend who raises them free range giving me a post workout nutritional protein boost. Man you got to love it when the Universe continues to create synchronicities guiding you to relative pertinent information in the form of a confirmation of choosing the right path in one aspect of todays endeavors. As I mentioned earlier, there are some caveats to consider. You can easily eliminate any health benefits that coffee might provide by adding milk, creamer, sugar or artificial sweeteners to your cup, for example. Also, while some of the studies noted above used caffeine opposed to coffee, I agree with experts like Ori who warn that caffeine in isolation could be quite toxic. Its important to remember that the natural blend of polyphenol antioxidants (including chlorogenic acids), bioflavonoids, vitamins and minerals in coffee beans all work together to help neutralize the harsher effects of the caffeine.7 Recent research from the University of Oslo, Norway, reveals that whole coffee possesses potent anti-inflammatory chemo-protective and anti-aging properties. Coffee has shown to inhibit the pro-inflammatory pathway NFkβ, which has been directly linked to inflammation, certain cancers and accelerated muscle aging. Note that NFkβ is inhibited by certain phenols in coffee rather than caffeine. This indicates again the superior health and muscle preserving qualities of whole coffee over caffeine alone. There are literally thousands of different natural chemical compounds in your brew, and science now suggests the synergy between them can pack a nice nutritional punch. Youre not likely to get this synergetic effect from caffeinated supplements and beverages like Red Bull!
