Drinking Two Cups Of Coffee Protects Against Liver Cancer

It seems that liver disorders are becoming more common. Bad eating habits and bad living habits usually have consequences. That’s why it’s good to hear some positive news:  drinking one or two cups of coffee a day can give you extra protection against liver cancer.

I am sure you will find this information useful.

Coffee consumption: an ally for liver health

Even though this news is based on 26 different studies, you might be a bit skeptical about the idea. You may have known people who drank a lot of coffee and still got liver cancer. But like everything else in life, you have to look at things objectively and holistically.

• Coffee alone cannot prevent 100% of liver disease; it is only a protective agent, not a panacea.
• Living a healthy life, with healthy eating habits, exercise and little alcohol and tobacco, is automatically good for protection against liver disease.
• Coffee should be drunk in moderation and balance. Two cups a day is the healthiest for optimizing the basic functions of the body. Drinking more coffee will not increase the protective powers.

But we also have to point out that coffee consumption was not recommended until recently, because it was thought to be only harmful and not healthy. In recent years, multiple studies have proven it to be beneficial for the following conditions:

• Coffee consumption protects against Alzheimer’s.
• It also protects against Parkinson’s disease.
• According to a study by Harvard, drinking two cups of coffee a day helps prevent type 2 diabetes.

Let’s take a look at how coffee helps prevent liver cancer.

Coffee consumption is an anti-inflammatory agent for the liver

The research supporting this information was published in Medical News Today and conducted by the World Cancer Research Fund International in London. According to scientists, the most interesting features of coffee are those of an anti-inflammatory agent.

• Coffee affects genes that cause inflammation in liver cells.
• People who drink 1 to 2 cups of coffee a day can improve the regeneration of their liver. This means they can heal inflamed cells and reduce the amount of fats in this important organ.

The powers of the antioxidants in coffee

An interesting fact about coffee is that the antioxidants remain active, rather than being broken down.

• Acids in coffee, such as chlorogenic acid, caffeine or ferulic acid, act as potent liver protectors.
• These antioxidants stay alive for more than eight hours.
• According to a study published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology  , regular coffee consumption can help 40% of individuals suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).  That is the most common form of liver cancer.

• Experts indicate that there is one important reason why coffee offers good protection against liver cancer and that is because of its ability to reduce the risk of diabetes.

Coffee consumption also protects against liver fibrosis

Another interesting fact published in the journal Hepatology is that coffee has the ability to fight accumulated connective tissue that leads to Cystic Fibrosis.

Much information is still needed to develop adequate strategies for determining the daily dose needed for satisfactory results for any type of patient, but it is clear that coffee is also beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic liver disease.

Diabetes

We told you at the beginning: regular coffee consumption helps prevent type 2 diabetes, as well as some cancers associated with obesity and problems with insulin and estrogen.

Make sure you have a healthy and balanced diet that does not exclude a daily cup of coffee.

Two cups of coffee a day is good for the heart

There has always been controversy about whether coffee can cause heart problems. We do know that it raises blood pressure, but the key is to always drink it in moderation.

• Coffee is a natural source of antioxidants and flavonoids, which are good for artery health.
• Regular and prudent coffee consumption also reduces the risk of a heart attack. These results have been published in the British Medical Journal.
• Drinking two cups of coffee a day is therefore good for the blood vessels.

Coffee strengthens the memory

As we’ve already mentioned, coffee can offer a little help to combat conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. There is also more information that you may appreciate.

According to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience,  the first cup of coffee you drink in the morning helps boost your short-term memory. This means it will help you remember the simple things of everyday life, such as where you left your keys or the appointment after work.

So, are you ready for your two cups a day? Go ahead!
