Coffee and Exercise Might Be a Bad Combination

Many people like to drink coffee before working out because of the energy boost the caffeine provides. But for some people, this might be a bad idea. According to a study by Swiss scientists, caffeine decreases blood flow to the heart during exercise by as much as 39%. When you increase your activity level, coronary ateries expand to let in more oxygen-carrying blood. However, when study participants consumed 200 milligrams of caffeine (the equivalent of two cups of coffee) about an hour before working out, the process was inhibited. Lead researcher Philipp Kaufmann suggests that if you have a family history of heart disease, you should avoid caffeine for four to five hours before exercise.

Fight Gum Disease With Exercise

A study conducted by Mohammad Al-Zahrani, DDS, PhD, found adults who performed 30 minutes of moderate activity five or more times a week were 42% less likely to suffer from gum disease. Al-Zahrani theorizes exercise may help prevent gum disease the same way it helps prevent heart disease - by decreasing blood levels of C-reactive protein, which causes inflammation in the arteries.

Fit Tips

• According to Japanese research, if you eat quickly your risk of becoming overweight increases by 58%. It takes between 10 and 20 minutes for your brain to receive the signal that you're actually full. So if you want to lose weight or avoid gaining weight, eat slower.

• Every hour spent exercising vigorously adds two hours to an adult's lifespan.

• 1 in 4 Americans have diabetes, but are unaware of it. And 57 million Americans have pre-diabetes.
