Allow yourself a moment of relaxation! Practicing exercise is good for your health, you already know. Day by day, new research shows that the benefits to the human body from moderate physical activity are numerous. What you probably don't know is that coffee drinking can have the same effects on your body as long hours of exercise.

The statement is from a group of researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. According to them, by performing biopsies of the legs of the participants of the experiment, it was possible to realize that genes associated with fat and metabolism are activated only after one hour of practice.

However, by ingesting higher doses of caffeine, the same genes are activated at a similar time interval. This is because caffeine causes the body to release calcium, giving the sensation that muscles are being demanded.

However, if you think you can trade the gym for the corner cafeteria, the news is disappointing. For the substitution to have the same effect would have to have about 50 cups of coffee a day (about 3.7 liters), very close to what would be deadly for humans.
