Coffee promotes your movement

A new study from March 2023 found that an above-average Coffee consumption increases physical activity.

The study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of California, San Francisco, and consisted of 100 participants with an average age of 39 years. Participants were randomly assigned to consume caffeinated coffee or avoid caffeine. The rule was that if coffee was consumed on two days, no coffee was to be consumed on the following two days.

How did the measurements ?

The number of steps and sleep duration were measured using Bluetooth wrist-mounted devices. On days when coffee was consumed, participants walked an average of 1,000 more steps per day than on days when no coffee was consumed. However, sleep duration decreased by 39 minutes on days when coffee was consumed.

However, it must be noted that metabolism, i.e. the processing of caffeine in the body, is very individual and therefore has different effects on people.

Our conclusion of the study

Overall, it appears that physical activity is an important factor for health and therefore longevity and that coffee consumption can have a positive effect on physical activity.

So we can enjoy our coffee every day and the additional physical activity it promotes. Find your favorite coffee and try the My Coffee Cup Grand Selection.
