"Caffeineblocks the action of adenosine, a pain-stimulating chemical found in most body tissues, including the muscles and brain." One study found that a dose ofcaffeinein pill form before a workout cut discomfort by about 50%, compared with a 10 to 30% reduction withNSAIDsin other research." Interesting. So before a good workout, chomping on an apple or some other form of good carb with a latte could actually be the key to added energy and post workout pain relief. Sounds good to me, I'm always up for trying anything that could help with that!
