Drinking the right amount of coffee can help protect your liver.

A newly published study says that consuming the right amount of coffee every day can help protect liver health.

Research results by experts from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine (USA) posted on the news website "ctvnews.ca" on August 19 said that providing the body with an appropriate amount of coffee each day not only reduces the risk of fatty liver (also known as fatty liver disease) but can also improve liver health.

Based on cell cultures in mice, Dr. Paul Yen, who led the study, and colleagues found that coffee stimulated the metabolism of fats stored in liver cells and significantly reduced the amount of fat in the livers of mice fed a high-fat diet.

Developing research, experts have determined that providing the body with an amount of coffee equivalent to four cups of coffee or tea per day can effectively help prevent and protect against the progression of fatty liver in humans.

Dr. Paul Yen said this is the first detailed study on the mechanism of action of coffee on liver fat and the results are very interesting, "vindicating" the bad reputation of coffee and tea on human health.

According to experts, around the world, about 70% of people with diabetes and obesity are diagnosed with fatty liver disease and the main cause of fatty liver disease is not necessarily due to drinking too much alcohol.

To date, there is no effective treatment for this disease except diet and exercise. The results of this study may help the majority of people suffering from the above disease./.
