Mother of health

Since ancient times, Chinese people have the habit of drinking tea, while people in European countries have the habit of drinking coffee. But these habits are changing, and foreign coffee lovers are beginning to be interested in Chinese tea, while Chinese tea drinking habits are beginning to fall in love with coffee. Especially some OFFICE OL family, every afternoon tea time to drink a cup of coffee, has become a living habit.

Some people say women can't drink too much coffee because they drink too much and hurt their skin. But surprisingly, coffee not only has a refreshing effect, but also has the effect of protecting the liver.

A new study found that decaffeinated coffee, like regular coffee, helps protect liver health, according to a new study.

The researchers found that, regardless of decaffeinated coffee or regular coffee, those who drank large amounts of coffee every day had relatively low levels of liver enzymes. This suggests that certain chemicals in coffee protect the liver, but this is not caffeine.

In addition, other studies have found that coffee consumption reduces the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.

"Previous studies have found that drinking coffee may protect the liver," the National Cancer Research Institute chief researcher Dr. Qian Xiao said in a statement. "However, the time for decaffeinated coffee is also has this effect there is no clear evidence."

In order to answer the question of decaffeinated coffee, Shaw and his colleagues used from the national health and nutrition survey data, this is a health survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention for the people living in the United states. In this survey, participants were asked not only to be interviewed but also to undergo physical examinations including blood tests.

The researchers looked at about 27800 people over the age of 20 and interviewed how much coffee they had taken in the past 24 hours. The team also studied several important indexes to assess the health of their liver blood samples, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT). Elevated liver enzymes may mean signs of liver damage or inflammation.

The results showed that people who drank more than 3 cups of coffee a day had four lower levels of liver enzymes than those who did not drink coffee. Surprisingly, regardless of whether a person drank regular coffee or decaffeinated coffee, they had almost the same effect on liver enzyme levels.

"Our findings found a link between decaffeinated coffee and lower levels of liver enzymes," Shaw said. "But further studies are needed to determine which ingredients in coffee can do this.".
