Caffeine can add a boost to your exercise regimen and diet plan.

Caffeine is a stimulant.  It increases the heart rate and can help exercisers work harder, run faster.  Drinking a caffienate beverage, like coffee or tea, 1 hour before a workout can increase the intensity of the workout.  

Caffeine is also an appetite supressant.  It is used in many diet drugs like Dexatrim and energy drinks linke 5-hour energy, and red bull.  Most energy drinks have as much caffeine as a cup of espresso.  When looking for ways to curb eating and reduce snacking, caffeine could be the answer. 

Good news for chocolate lover:  Choco has caffeine in it, as well.

Utimately, water is the best drink to consume immediately before, during and after workouts, but caffeinated beverages can help exerciser pick up the pace, workout longer, and increase intensity.
