Coffee is one of the most widespread drinks in the world, and it has always been the subject of the study of scientists and researchers to understand its influence on human health, especially on the liver as the primary organ in toxicity and regulating metabolism, according to what was published in Marca.
The health benefits of coffee on the liver
Several medical studies indicate that drinking coffee regularly, at a rate ranging from two cups and four cups per day, may give the liver great health benefits, most notably:
- Reducing the risk of non -alcoholic fatty liver.
- Reduce the possibility of liver fibrosis.
- Help in preventing viral hepatitis.
- Reducing the risk of liver cancer by up to 40%.
- Improving important liver enzymes such as Alt, AST and GGT.
This is due to the fact that coffee contains effective compounds such as caffeine, chlorogenic acids and dedorpress, which work to combat infections and oxidative stress within the liver cells.
Coffee and fatty liver disease
And recent research, including a study conducted by the University of Keimbra, showed that people with fatty liver benefit in particular from drinking coffee regularly, as it was found that coffee slows down the development of the disease, especially in type 2 diabetics and obese.
Possible risks when excessive
Despite the great benefits of coffee, excessive consumption may lead to some damage, such as:
- Insomnia and anxiety resulting from the high level of caffeine.
- Interfering with some drugs for liver disease.
- The possibility of exacerbating some of the already existing liver problems.
- Increased heart rate or high blood pressure in people sensitive to caffeine.
Experts advise not to exceed four cups daily, with a doctor consulting in the event of chronic liver diseases or problems.
