He added that "surprisingly, drinking coffee not only perks us up mentally but it's been shown to boost our performance in all sorts of other ways". .Dr Mosley said this includes “increasing the amount of fat you burn while doing exercise and improving endurance, so you can keep going for longer". The best time to get your coffee fix to achieve the fitness benefits is “about an hour before you exercise", revealed the doctor.
The health guru famed for the 5:2 diet discussed other benefits of the caffeine drink. He said: "Coffee - as most people know - contains caffeine, which is a powerful stimulant produced by plants to help ward off insects. Coffee is also rich in polyphenols, which are anti-oxidants that have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect."
