Caffeine is also thermogenic, that is to say that it promotes the elimination of fat. This property is used in slimming creams, because it would be necessary to drink very large quantities of coffee to have an effect at this level.
It also plays a role in increasing the heart rate and blood pressure.
Coffee is often consumed by athletes to increase their performance and fight against fatigue thanks to the caffeine. This effect appears within an hour of intake.
The main antioxidants contained in coffee are caffeic acids, chloorogenic acid and lignans. These molecules have an antioxidant power. They allow to fight against accelerated cellular ageing, but also against the deterioration and the destruction of cells. They thus prevent the risk of the appearance of cardiovascular diseases, certain types of cancers in particular the cancer of the liver, the pharynx and the oesophagus and certain diseases related to cellular ageing like the losses of memory found in the Alzheimer's disease.
