Coffee Consumption Linked to Lower Body Fat and Increased Muscle Mass

Buzzline

A recent study conducted in Finland involving over 2,264 middle-aged individuals revealed that higher coffee consumption is associated with reduced total and visceral fat, as well as increased skeletal muscle mass, despite similar BMI levels compared to lighter coffee consumers. Researchers from the University of Oulu discovered a unique hormonal profile in those who consume more coffee, which remained significant when adjusting for weight and lifestyle variables, with notable differences observed between genders. Additionally, a higher intake of coffee was correlated with decreased levels of specific amino acids associated with insulin resistance and the risk of type 2 diabetes, providing further insight into the intricate connection between coffee and metabolic health.

00:00There's a new twist in what your morning coffee might be doing for your body.

00:03A Finnish study of more than 2,200 adults found that people who drink more coffee

00:12the dangerous kind around your organs, along with more skeletal muscle.

00:17That held true even when their BMI looked about the same as lighter coffee drinkers.

00:22Researchers at the University of Ulu found a distinct hormonal signature

00:26in heavier coffee drinkers that stuck around after accounting for weight and lifestyle habits.

00:31With the pattern differing between men and women,

00:34coffee drinkers also had lower levels of amino acids linked to insulin resistance

00:39and type 2 diabetes risk.

00:41Scientists don't fully understand the biology yet,

00:44but it's one more clue in coffee's complicated relationship with metabolic health.
