10. Elevated Metabolism
Studies have found that the caffeine in coffee has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system and boosts the body’s metabolic rate, resulting in the burning of fat by oxidizing fatty acids found in the fat tissues.
The caffeine in coffee also improves athletic performance and assists in weight management by significantly increasing the body’s ability to burn fat while exercising, as well as for several hours after a workout.
