The researchers cited coffee consumption as one of the ways to prevent fatty liver disease, which is expressed by excess fat deposition in hepatocytes, as well as other dangerous diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cancer. This is reported by the Express edition.
Scientists have analyzed a number of scientific works that have studied the beneficial effects of coffee on the human body. According to one of the studies, the effect of the drink is due to the effect on liver enzymes, which reduces the accumulation of fat, as well as getting rid of toxic substances that can cause the appearance and development of malignant tissues. Coffee also increases the body’s protective antioxidants.
The beneficial effects of coffee have also been reported in studies that looked at a variety of populations, including people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol, are obese, smoke, or have chronic viral hepatitis. It turned out that the drink also has a protective effect against liver fibrosis, when the functional tissues of the organ begin to be replaced by connective tissue, which leads to cirrhosis.
