Coffee

Coffee is one of the most beneficial beverages for liver health. Coffee consumption has been demonstrated to protect the liver from disease, even in those who already have issues with the organ.

Coffee, for example, has been proven in several trials to reduce the risk of cirrhosis, or permanent liver damage, in people with chronic liver disease. Coffee consumption may lower the chance of developing a prevalent type of liver cancer, as well as have beneficial effects on liver disease and inflammation. It's even linked to a decreased risk of death in those with chronic liver disease, with those who consume at least three cups per day getting its most benefits. These benefits seem to stem from its ability to reduce fat and collagen buildup, two of the most common criteria of liver disease. Coffee also reduces inflammation and boosts glutathione levels, an antioxidant. Free radicals, which are created naturally in the body and can damage cells, are neutralized by antioxidants.
