IF YOU DRINK THIS BEFORE EXERCISE, IT MAY CAUSE BLOOD CLOTS
Drinking caffeinated beverages may lead to a higher risk of blood clots, one study found.
Many athletes who try to improve their fitness rely on caffeine for help before or during exercise. Experts, however, consider that there may be some real effects on your favorite energy jolt. In a new report published in the book Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, analysts found that drinking caffeine created a rift between strenuous exercise sessions, putting you at greater risk for blood clots.
The experimental group organized two exercise sessions for 48 young people over the age of 23 and a standard weight list.
Members of the study were given refreshments — first a false treatment and later a caffeinated beverage — before completing a strenuous exercise cycle. Then, at that moment, they bled their blood.
Experts found that after caffeine ingestion, the levels of resistance were significantly higher, putting reviewed subjects at risk for conditions, for example, heart failure, stroke, profound vein apoplexy, or pneumonic embolism.
