Two more great benefits of a morning cup of coffee.

In a study published in the medical journal BMJ Medicine, an international team of researchers discovered that your morning cup of coffee may be linked to body fat and the risk of diabetes in a particular way.

Accordingly, blood caffeine levels can affect body fat, a factor that may determine the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to the science website Science Alert .

Your morning cup of coffee may help reduce fat and the risk of diabetes.

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute (Sweden), the University of Bristol (UK), and Imperial College London (UK) used genetic markers to establish a stronger link between caffeine levels, body mass index (BMI), and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The authors used data from nearly 10,000 people from existing genetic databases, focusing on specific genes associated with the rate of caffeine breakdown.

Researchers found that people with genes that break down caffeine more slowly have caffeine remaining in their bloodstream for longer. However, they also tend to drink less coffee overall.

The results showed that higher blood caffeine levels helped reduce BMI and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Higher blood caffeine levels help lower BMI and the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Previous studies have also found that moderate increases in caffeine intake promote better cardiovascular health and lower BMI, and the new research adds further detail to the effects of coffee on the body.

The research team also stated that unsweetened coffee (containing caffeine without calories) could be a potential means of reducing body fat, according to Science Alert.

They explain that coffee is able to do this amazing thing because caffeine increases thermogenesis and fat oxidation (converting fat into energy) in the body, both of which play important roles in metabolism in general.

However, the authors note that more research is needed to confirm cause and effect.
