A recent study at Rutgers University found that caffeine and exercise may help prevent skin cancer. The tumor suppressing protein, phospho-p53, is boosted by 18% with exercise and is boosted 27% by drinking two cups of coffee. When exercise and caffeine are combined the effects are much more dramatic...the levels of this protein are doubled! Although it appears that exercise and coffee each have health benefits, combining them together seems to have the greatest impact. The ability to double the level of a tumor-blocking protein is outstanding news. "We think this points out a need for more studies to see if the combination will protect people against sunlight-induced skin cancer," said the study's Senior Researcher, Allan Conney, the Director of the Laboratory for Cancer Research at Rutgers University. It was found in a previous study that the caffeine in green tea was significant on its ability to repair damaged skin cells. While the caffeinated version of green tea was effective, the decaffeinated version of green tea was not. Here is How I Combine Caffeine and Exercise Effectively 1) Don't eat anything 4 hours before working out 2) 30 minutes before exercising drink two cups of black coffee or 3-4 cups of green tea 3) Perform intense interval training cardio for an extended time to take advantage of caffeine's fat burning potential See...I knew my "Double Tall Iced Americano" was doing me some good! Yeah...I live in Seattle and espresso is consumed about as much as water. Now don't think you can order all those fancy drinks with caramel, chocolate, cream, etc...you have to go plain...stick with black coffee or tea without sugar. So caffeine will give you the energy to exercise hard while on a low calorie diet. This will help you burn body fat at a quicker rate...as well as reduce your chances of getting skin cancer. I see nothing but positives here!
