Woot woot, #icedcoffee!!! After a roller coaster of bad press, #caffeine, found in its natural form like #coffee, tea, kola nuts, and cocoa beans (chocolate), is health approved! About 300 to 400mg per day (the equivalent in 2-4 8 ounce cups of coffee) has shown to protect against #heart disease, lower risk of #diabetes and #breastcancer, increase #longevity, decrease #musclefatigue during workouts, slightly increase #metabolism, and is an #antioxidant booster.
NOTE: Be mindful of caffeine intake if you already have diabetes because it may increase blood sugar and insulin levels.
NOTE2: caffeine takes about 45minutes to kick in and traces of it can linger up to 10 hours! I would suggest to take your last sip by 1pmish if you find yourself wired at bedtime.
