 Every day, billions of people rely on the stimulating effect of caffeine to get over their sleep problems. If you are faced with one of these, this article is for you. In fact, this natural stimulant is one of the most used ingredients in the world. The negative effects of caffeine on sleep and anxiety are often mentioned. However, research also informs us that it has various health benefits.
What is caffeine?
Caffeine is a natural stimulant most commonly found in coffee and tea plants. It works by stimulating the brain and central nervous system. It helps us stay awake and prevent the onset of fatigue. Caffeine is widely consumed around the world. Today, 80% of the world's population consumes caffeinated products every day. It can take as little as 20 minutes to reach our bodies and about 1 hour to reach full effectiveness.

Which drinks contain caffeine?
Caffeine is found naturally in the seeds, nuts, or leaves of some plants. These natural resources are then harvested and processed to produce caffeinated food and drink. Caffeine amounts of some popular drinks include:
Espresso: 60 ml 130 mg – 200 mg
Filter coffee: 150 ml 115 mg – 175 mg
Brewed tea: 240 ml (one cup) 40 mg –120 mg
Cappucino: 240 ml (one cup) 150 mg
Decaffeinated coffee: 240 ml (one cup) 3 mg -12 mg

Accelerates metabolism and fat burning
Due to its ability to stimulate the central nervous system, caffeine can increase fat burning by making the metabolism work harder. Practically speaking, consuming 1-3 cups of coffee a day can allow you to burn an extra 79 calories. This amount may seem small, but it is important to remember that it equals an average of 2500-3000 steps.

Contribution to exercise performance
Caffeine can increase our body's use of fat as fuel. This is great information for athletes. We can see it as a beneficial drink that accelerates fat burning and gives extra energy. That's because it can help the glucose stored in the muscles last longer, potentially delaying the time it takes for your muscles to reach fatigue. Caffeine can also improve muscle contractions and increase our tolerance for fatigue. Researchers have observed that 5mg doses of caffeine increase endurance performance by up to 5% when consumed 1 hour before exercise. Finally, consuming a small amount of caffeine about an hour before exercise is likely to improve exercise performance.

Recommended dosages
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) considers a daily intake of 400 mg of caffeine to be safe. That means 2-4 cups of coffee a day. Therefore, we might think that a daily cup of coffee or tea is an enjoyable way to improve health.
