Coffee reduces the risk of chronic liver disease
British scientists have found that coffee reduces the risk of chronic liver disease
Also during the study, experts found that those who consumed this drink had a 20% lower risk of steatosis. Drinking coffee has a positive effect on the functioning of the human liver. The Mirror writes about this, referring to scientists from the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh.
Experts took the data of 495,585 people from the UK Biobank. 80% of them drank ground or instant coffee, and 20% did not use it at all. As a result, the researchers concluded that lovers of this drink had a 21% lower risk of chronic liver disease, and the probability of avoiding death increased by 40%.
The study also found that coffee drinkers had a 20% lower risk of steatosis. Scientists explained this effect by the substances contained in the drink – caveols and kafestols.
“We conclude that coffee has a preventive effect, protecting against chronic liver diseases. This is very valuable for low-income countries, where people have fewer opportunities to receive quality medical services and where the burden from chronic liver diseases is the highest,” said Oliver Kennedy, lead author of the study.
Earlier, neurophysiologist Tatiana Blokhina explained how to increase the invigorating effect of coffee. In particular, you can drink a cup of drink and take a nap in the afternoon, then after waking up there will be a double effect, she advises.
