It helps you shed pounds
People who drank more metabolism-firing caffeine gained less
weight over 12 years than those who cut back on the coffee,
say researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

It powers your workouts
Downing coffee and toast between back-to-back workouts can keep you humming,
a study from the Journal of Applied Physiology reports.
Athletes who drank a caffeinated carbohydrate
beverage after cycling had 66 percent more glycogen
(an energy reserve) in their muscles than those who had a caffeine-free version.
Replenishing glycogen helps you go farther and faster in your next session. Do you run on caffeine?

It helps you wake up refreshed
Drinking a cup of coffee immediately before taking
a 15- to 30-minute catnap can leave you alert
and rested after waking up, according to research from
The Sleep Research Centre, Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England.
Caffeine takes a half hour to kick in, so it will rouse you after a short snooze.
Try these tips to sleep your way gorgeous.

Two cups of java daily lowered a person's risk by 43 percent on average.
In another study from University of Minnesota at Minneapolis,
women who drank coffee had a 24 percent lower risk of
dying from heart disease and other inflammatory conditions.
Antioxidants in coffee are likely behind the protective benefits.

It can ease muscle cramps
Women who had the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee
the day after their quadriceps were stimulated
(as if they'd done squats) felt 48 percent less leg pain within an hour,
research from the University of Georgia in Athens reveals.
Caffeine may block the body's receptors for the ouch-causing
chemical adenosine, scientists speculate.

It makes cardio feel like a cinch
Women given the caffeine equivalent of about two cups
of coffee an hour before cycling reported 40 percent less
pain than those who went decaf, according to a study from
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Caffeine seems to block neurotransmitters that signal
discomfort during exercise, researchers say.

the European Journal of Social Psychology notes.

by 40 percent compared with nondrinkers, a study
in the Journal of Nutrition finds.

depends on which juice, if its freshly squeezed orange without  sugar then its good. But if its like any other juice with high fructose corn syrup then its a one way ticket to diabetes.
you're still better off with water.

akala ko safest sugar ang fructose? di pala?
