Coffee Drinkers Rejoice! Caffeine & Exercise Reduces Cancer Risks

By: Rusty Moore

Those "Double Tall Latte's" may be healthier than you think! A study at Rutgers University studied the effects of caffeine combined with exercise. What they found was very surprising. When used together, exercise and caffeine doubled the levels of a tumor-suppressing protein(phospho-p53).

Increasing the level of this tumor bocking protein may prevent cancer in cells damaged by the sun. This can be accomplished by drinking coffee and exercising together. You gotta like that!

"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 What I Recommend as The Best Strategy to Use Caffeine and Exercise Together

1) Don't eat anything 4 hours before working out

2) 30 minutes before training drink two cups of coffee or 3 cups of Green Tea

3)Hit cardio hard for at least 30 minutes, since the caffeine will have an increased fat burning effect on an empty stomach

It looks like mother nature wants us to drink coffee! So Starbucks is a health food store...I knew it! Don't go crazy here...coffee and green tea is great as long as you don't load it down with sugar and cream. Stick with black coffee. My drink of choice is a "Double Tall Iced Americano". This is basically a fancy way of making iced coffee with espresso shots, water and ice. You can make a similar drink with brewed coffee, but it isn't quite the same.

Not only will caffeine reduce your risk of skin cancer, it will give you energy on a low calorie diet to burn body fat like crazy!
