Caffeine can make sympathetic nerve excited, give people a high degree of alertness and fast, clear thinking. So drinking a cup of coffee can help us wake up and keep a good working and learning state. Caffeine can also accelerate fat decomposition and increase heat consumption. 100 mg caffeine (a cup of coffee) can increase the body's metabolic rate by 3% - 4%, so drinking coffee in moderation does have weight loss effect.

Drinking coffee can also prevent type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes in Chinese adults is as high as 10%, and another 16% are on the verge of disease. The results of most epidemiological experiments show that drinking coffee can play a positive role in the sensitivity of insulin, and thus play a preventive role in people at risk of type II diabetes.
