Drinking coffee has a positive effect on a person's well-being and even prolongs life.
But the beneficial properties of the drink do not end there. In addition to the invigorating effect, it supports muscles and human mobility.
Japanese scientists have concluded that moderate coffee consumption has a positive effect on muscle health, writes Eat This, Not That.
Coffee and muscles
Regular and moderate consumption of coffee protects the human body from the decrease in muscle mass that occurs with age.
The condition of skeletal muscles affects mobility, posture and even metabolism, including as we age.
The researchers came to these conclusions after conducting a survey among more than 6.3 thousand people.
The respondents were people aged 45 to 74 years.
Thus, it was discovered that men who drink coffee on a regular basis have a stronger grip on their hands.
What is the reason?
It was initially suggested that the drink reduced systemic inflammation, but the theory was not confirmed.
It is possible that coffee itself makes a person stronger.
Scientists also noted that drinking the drink before training can improve athletic performance.
