Coffee Mixed With Exercise Will Reduce Chances Of Getting Cancer!

February 5, 2008 by Rusty Moore

A recent study at Rutgers University found that caffeine and exercise may help prevent skin cancer. The tumor suppressing protein, phospho-p53, is boosted by 18% with exercise and is boosted 27% by drinking two cups of coffee. When exercise and caffeine are combined the effects are much more dramatic…the levels of this protein are doubled!

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!

The study’s senior researcher, Allan Conney, believes that further research needs to be done with this combination of caffeine and exercise…”We think this points out a need for more studies to see if the combination will protect people against sunlight-induced skin cancer”.

This study was a result of an interesting finding during a green tea study. It was found that decaffeinated green tea had no effect on repairing damaged skin cells, but the caffeinated green tea did.

Here is a Great Way to Combine Caffeine and Exercise for Maximum Benefits

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

2) Drink 3-4 cups of green tea or two cups of coffee, 30 minutes before your scheduled workout

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.

I have always been a big believer of drinking a calorie-free caffeinated beverage on an empty stomach to have the best fat burning workout. Little did I know that caffeine was also reducing my chances of getting skin cancer. This is great news to all coffee drinkers out there!
