Like the instant coffee we usually drink, the manufacturers add a lot of sugar and milk to make the coffee taste better. These coffees are no longer in the category of low-calorie coffee, so drinking this kind of coffee has no substantial effect on the liver.
The reason why low-calorie coffee can protect the liver is because it contains caffeine, chlorogenic acid antioxidants and some polyphenols. The existence of these substances can reduce inflammation, so for some people with chronic hepatitis, the existence of these components can gradually slow down the degree of inflammation, thus delaying the process of liver fibrosis.
Insulin resistance also has a good effect on nonalcoholic fatty liver. Foreign scholars have found that low-calorie coffee can reduce the degree of insulin resistance to a certain extent, so it also has a certain effect in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver.
However, if you want coffee to protect the liver, it is directly related to the amount of coffee you consume every day. Studies have shown that only taking more than 4 cups of black coffee a day can achieve certain protective effect on the liver.
Most people in our country don't have the habit of drinking black coffee, and many people will have a series of reactions such as palpitation and arrhythmia after drinking black coffee.
In addition, the taste of black coffee is very bitter, so many people are not used to drinking black coffee. Therefore, it is still a difficult way to protect the liver by drinking coffee.
