The Coffee Secret to Slimness – How the Drink Affects Fat and Muscles

Finnish researchers from the University of Oulu found that people who regularly drink coffee have less visceral fat and higher muscle mass. The study, reported by The New York Post, involved more than 2,200 participants. Coffee lovers had a lower overall fat percentage and visceral fat level, as well as lower levels of BCAA amino acids. However, scientists emphasize that the study does not prove a causal relationship. The response to coffee varied: men with high consumption had lower fasting insulin, while some also showed increased cholesterol and reduced omega-3.

Finnish researchers from the University of Oulu found that people who regularly drink coffee have less visceral fat and higher muscle mass. The study, reported by The New York Post, involved more than 2,200 participants. Participants filled out lifestyle questionnaires and underwent examinations, including blood tests and a glucose tolerance test. Coffee lovers had a lower overall fat percentage and visceral fat level, as well as lower levels of BCAA amino acids, which are associated with insulin resistance. However, scientists emphasize that the study does not prove a causal relationship. The response to coffee varied: men with high consumption had lower fasting insulin, while some also showed increased cholesterol and reduced omega-3. Lead author Luca Verrust noted that coffee is linked to metabolism and hormones, but further research is needed.
