<p>Drinking a cup of coffee with breakfast can reduce pain triggered by spending hours at a computer at your workplace, a new study has claimed.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Researchers from the University of Oslo found that coffee can lower office-related twinges and aches as caffeine is thought to stimulate receptors responsible for blocking pain, the Daily Mail reported.<br /><br />In the study, volunteers who undertook 90-minutes of intensive screen-based work without a break suffered fewer aches and pains in their neck, shoulders, arms and wrists if they downed a coffee before going to office.<br /><br />The team recruited 48 full-time office workers who were told they could drink coffee with their breakfast but to limit it to one cup.<br /><br />The recruits then underwent an hour-and-a-half of computer tasks, which involved correcting typographical errors on a document as fast and as accurately as possible, using only the computer mouse.<br /><br />They were not allowed to pause at any time and were assessed for their levels of pain throughout the experiment.<br /><br />Although both drinkers and non-drinkers experienced pain in their shoulders, neck, arms and wrists during the task, coffee consumers reported much lower levels of discomfort.<br /></p>
