Abstract

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease, it is not only listed in the top ten chronic diseases by WHO, but also is a risk factor in many other chronic diseases. At present, the treatment of obesity mainly includes lifestyle intervention, drug therapy and surgery. Drug therapy was initially popular as a way to lose weight quickly and has little trauma, but people gradually lost faith in it due to its endless negative news. Therefore it is important to seek a natural substance with very low side effects as a source of drugs for obesity treatment. Caffeine is a natural substance that is ubiquitous found in people’s lives, making it more acceptable as a treatment for obesity. Therefore, this paper aims to study the influence of caffeine on obesity, the application of caffeine in the treatment of obesity and the prospect of caffeine as a weight loss drug, expecting to provide new ideas for the development of natural weight loss drugs. Finally, through literature analysis and case studies, it is concluded that caffeine can play a positive role in the treatment of obesity by suppressing appetite and accelerating lipid metabolism, and that the combined use of caffeine with EGCG or ephedrine has a more significant effect than caffeine alone.
