It's always good to hear that something you love could actually benefit you. That's just what a new study determined. If you are already on your second or third cup of coffee today - go ahead, have another. A new study from the University of Southampton and the University of Edinburgh found drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee was associated with a reduced risk of developing chronic liver disease. Scientists found that drinking up to 4 cups of coffee a day cut the risk of chronic liver disease by 21% and dropped the risk of death from liver disease by nearly 50%.
The study determined that coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die from chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers.
Go celebrate the news that drinking coffee could help you stay healthy with another cup of coffee! I'll take mine iced if anyone wants to pick me up one.
