A new study conducted in the United Kingdom has revealed that coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of liver disease.

This study that AgroWeb.org relied on found that coffee drinkers had a 21% lower risk of liver disease and a 49% lower risk of dying from chronic liver disease.

While the health benefits seemed to be higher in people who drank ground coffee. According to researchers, ground coffee contains the highest levels of several compounds thought to protect against liver disease.

Although researchers are still learning how coffee can fight liver disease, they suspect it's because of its anti-inflammatory or anti-fibrotic properties.

They say coffee can be used as an affordable way to help reduce the risk of developing liver disease.

Caffeine and liver health

This study adds to the growing evidence that coffee offers benefits for liver health.

Many previous studies show a lower risk of cirrhosis, improvements in fatty liver disease, lower rates of hospitalization and mortality from cirrhosis.

Studies have also shown that coffee consumption is associated with decreased levels of liver enzymes.

High levels of liver enzymes can sometimes be a sign of liver inflammation or damage.

According to the researchers, it is difficult to determine how and why coffee can fight liver disease.

And according to them there may be other contributing factors that have not yet been identified.

Therefore, more research is needed to learn how coffee can improve liver problems.

How much coffee should you drink?

Experts recommend one to two cups of black coffee per day.

People who experience heartburn or have gastrointestinal problems should adjust their coffee intake according to their tolerance.

In addition, people with severe heart disease or high blood pressure should avoid excessive coffee if it worsens their condition./AgroWeb.org
