Benefits of drinking coffee to the liver
The team of researchers said, drinking coffee has been found beneficial for the liver. Studies show that drinking two to three cups a day can protect your liver from damage caused by alcohol or an unhealthy diet. Some research also suggests that regular and moderate consumption of coffee may reduce your risk of liver cancer. After all, how is coffee beneficial for the liver, let's know.
How is coffee beneficial?
The British Liver Trust's report 'Coffee and the liver - the potential health benefits' confirms that coffee is good for liver health. Besides caffeine, coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals. Doctors are still trying to find out what effect these chemicals have on the body.
When your body digests caffeine, it creates a chemical called paraxanthin that slows the growth of tissues involved in fibrosis. It is also beneficial in reducing the complications of liver cancer, alcohol-related cirrhosis, fatty liver, and hepatitis C.
Its benefits in preventing cancer
Two chemicals present in coffee, kahweol, and cafestol, may help fight cancer. In addition, the acids present in coffee have been shown to act against the virus that causes hepatitis B. One study found that decaffeinated coffee may have the same benefits.
However, researchers say that coffee is beneficial only as long as it is consumed in moderation. Its excess can be harmful to the body.
How much coffee is safe?
Researchers say that up to 400 milligrams of caffeine, a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. Roughly speaking, it should not be consumed more than two-three cups of coffee. Excess of caffeine in the body can have many side effects. Consuming it in moderation can help keep the liver healthy.
