The drink that SAVES your liver

Aging means we start zoning in on other parts of our body more than we used to.

You pay attention to your heart health… your brain… and lungs.

Because if any one of these vital organs are off – your health could be thrown for a real loop.

But when’s the last time you thought about your LIVER?

It may not grab a lot of attention, but your liver does a lot more than you think…

Like aiding in digestion… and helping your body DETOX impurities from your food and drink.

(Including those “adult” beverages.)

But what if I told you that there’s something you can drink to actually SUPPORT your liver health?

It’s true… and you can start as soon as tomorrow morning.

I’ve made no bones about it, coffee is one of the single BEST drinks to support your overall health.

You’ve read before, right here in eAlert, how drinking a cup of coffee daily is linked to 12% lower mortality.

That’s because it’s PACKED with antioxidants like chlorogenic acid… which has been known to also protect heart health.

Now recent research places yet another feather in coffee’s cap as a healthful beverage…

With a study showing that drinking a little more coffee could SLOW the progression of liver disease.

Specifically, study researchers found that elevated coffee consumption could REDUCE the risk for serious liver complications… like the formation of excess scar tissue known as fibrosis.

In fact, this association held true even when they tested their theory on folks with a disease that really does a number on the liver – hepatitis.

The good news is that you DON’T have to be a hepatitis patient to benefit from drinking coffee…

And you DON’T have to invest in a fancy coffee machine or fork over your credit card to your local coffee house.

You only need some INSTANT coffee!

In 2017, the British Liver Trust announced that drinking coffee was associated with a LOWER risk of liver cancer…

Starting with as little as just a cup a day… and IMPROVING with each added serving.

The World Health Organization has publicly agreed… which is a complete TURNAROUND from their claims that coffee could actually CAUSE cancer! Thank goodness THAT turned out to be “fake news.”

Now, the reduction of cancer risk applies to both decaf and “fully leaded” coffee varieties… although the caffeinated forms appear to have a more dramatic effect.

For liver fibrosis, however, caffeine appears to be a KEY component to coffee’s benefits.

If you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine – or your doc has advised you to stay away from it – you can also look into other ways of supporting your liver health without coffee, like an EGCG supplement… vitamin D… and probiotics.

To the Java life,
