2 Little Known Health Benefits of Coffee

Gotta' have your java? Coffee is a staple for so many people. You see a coffee shop just about anywhere you go and a home without a coffee maker feels like an alien planet. Some of us might even call it our “life blood.”

Regardless of how much you depend on coffee to wake up, focus on work, or relax after dinner, it’s a major part of an everyday routine for millions of people worldwide. As it turns out, coffee might be even more valuable and important than we thought.

Coffee Can Help Prevent Cirrhosis of the Liver

Recent studies show that drinking coffee each day may help prevent the onset of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. A scarred liver is a damaged liver; over time, those scars become stiffer and lose function. Cirrhosis occurs slowly, over a long period of time, and can be measured by how “stiff” these scars become. The more scar tissue your liver contains, the more likely you are to head toward liver failure. Infections like hepatitis, chronic alcohol ingestion, and even chronic use of medications can all lead to cirrhosis of the liver.

Researchers studied diets (specifically how much tea and coffee people drank) and then measured how stiff each patient’s liver tissue was before and after regular ingestion. They found that people who drink 3 or more cups of coffee every day have significantly lower stiffness in their liver, and thus, achieve better liver function

Coffee Can Help Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease

Studies have confirmed that coffee isn’t a bad thing for your heart, as many feared in the past, and can be quite beneficial for your heart's health. The key is not to overconsume. Researchers found that coffee improves the function of endothelial cells that line your arteries, making for easier blood flow and thereby reducing the workload on your heart. It should be noted that most of the research that touts coffee's positive health effects does not account for the use of cream and sugar; if you use too much cream and/or sugar you could be reducing the benefits of the coffee.

So enjoy your coffee, but don't overdo it; it's one of those pleasures that doesn’t have to be a guilty one (ideally though, don't use too much, or any, sugar).

I have my double espresso every morning with breakfast, then no more the rest of the day. But it is a powerful one, much like the one shown in the picture - no commercial espresso machine but almost as good (Jura fully automatic)

Two other causes of cirrhosis not well known by many people are acetaminophen (Tylenol) and high fructose corn syrup. Good job!

Research suggests coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes or help you manage the disease if you've been diagnosed. According to Everydayhealth Men who reported drinking more than six cups of regular, caffeinated coffee per day cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes in half when compared to nondrinkers of coffee. Women who reported drinking that much cut their risk by about 30 percent. Decaffeinated coffee also showed benefits, but the results were weaker.
