The Benefits of Drinking Coffee

大部分人喝咖啡是为了让自己保持精力旺盛。但其实，有些人喝咖啡是为了健身能有更好的效果。

不少健身的人每天会喝多杯咖啡。这是因为咖啡因可以提高人体无氧运动的能力，可以让身体更快速进入运动状态。这种改变对普通人而言可能作用不大，但对于健身狂热者而言，喝咖啡可以让他们的健身效率大大提高。

不过，除了健身的人，医生不建议普通人为了其他的目的尝试一天内喝多杯咖啡。人体消耗咖啡因的速度有限。普通人喝一杯咖啡摄入的咖啡因大概率到第二天早上还没有被消耗掉。

Most people drink coffee to keep themselves energetic. But in fact, some people drink coffee to achieve better results in fitness. Many people who work out drink multiple cups of coffee every day. This is because caffeine can improve the body's anaerobic exercise capacity and allow the body to enter an exercise state more quickly. This change may not have much effect on the average person, but for fitness fanatics, drinking coffee can greatly improve their fitness efficiency. However, except for people who work out, doctors do not recommend that ordinary people try to drink multiple cups of coffee a day for other purposes. The human body can only consume caffeine at a limited rate. The caffeine that an average person ingests by drinking a cup of coffee will most likely still be in one’s system the next morning.
