There are recent studies which have linked coffee drinking to lower rates of early death and diseases like liver cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes.
Below is an excerpt of an article that talks about the other health benefits of coffee to your body:
An overview of research on coffee and liver function
Caffeine metabolizes into a substance called paraxanthine, which is associated with liver health. The general theory behind coffee’s success is that paraxanthine prevents the growth of connective tissue, so the development of fibrosis (the formation of excess connective tissue that disrupts the organ’s function) is postponed.
According to a meta-analysis conducted by Larsson and Wolk in 2007, two extra cups of coffee per day reduce your risk of liver cancer by 43%. Another study from 2013 showed that drinking coffee protects against chronic liver disease. In patients already suffering from chronic liver disease, those consuming coffee reduced the risk of cirrhosis.
Coffee might also prove beneficial for non-viral hepatitis sufferers. Drinking more than 2 cups per day reduced the risk of death by 66% and slowed disease progression, as established by Goh and his colleagues in 2014.
There you have it. So, get your cup ready and start preparing your coffee. Enjoy!
