Drink More Coffee!
Hangovers are the worst. Hangovers can feel so bad that it can make people consider never drinking again. Not to be pessimistic, but that usually doesn't last that long. There are also many remedies to cure hangovers like special drinks, medicines, or techniques. Whether it's true, or false people will still try them to feel like their normal self again. Does anyone, however, wonder about different ways to decrease liver damage caused by excessive drinking? The next time someone downs a couple of shots they should also consider drinking some coffee.
Coffee can be found almost everywhere. It's sold in restaurants, fast food places, and it can even be found in vending machines. In other words, it's very assessable. Researchers have found that drinking two or more of cups of coffee daily can dramatically lessen the chance of liver damage caused by excessive drinking (Hafner, 2016). There have been many studies of a total of 434,000 people that saw that drinking coffee helped them reduced cirrhosis (Hafner, 2016).
Cirrhosis is a disease that is caused by heavy drinking. Cirrhosis can cause hepatitis and immune diseases. It can also cause excessive fat in the liver that can cause obesity and diabetes. Cirrhosis is a fatal disease that researchers have not found a cure for yet. According to Dr. Oliver of Southampton University, more than one million people die annually from cirrhosis (Hafner, 2016). During the research as stated before, they saw how increasing the contributor’s cups of coffee decreased the chance of cirrhosis out of seven of the eight studies. Two cups of coffee dropped the risk of cirrhosis by 44% while drinking four cups lowered the risk by 65%. One study also found that drinking filtered coffee is better at reducing the risk of cirrhosis than boiled coffee.
Every health benefit caused by coffee is still unclear. It's also unclear how coffee is connected with liver damage. Studies show that coffee can prevent the same disease caused by heavy drinking, but it’s not strong enough to cancel out drinking, or any other lifestyle choice that can lead to the cirrhosis. Nutritionist Samantha Heller of New York University’s Langone Medical Center stated “a few cups of coffee a day cannot undo the systematic damage of excessive boozing” (Hafner, 2016). Remember to drink responsibly.

AHHHH... this makes me extremely happen and not because i can possibly cure a hangover with coffee,but because it is perfectly fine to drink more than 2 cups of coffee a day. Some people say to not have more than two. I think this information is great for people who may always fall victim of a hangover after being out a night drinking. Almost everyone drinks coffee now, so its something you don't have to go buy and also easy to make. Great!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I did not know coffee was that effective on the liver so thank you for the information! I like the examples of the benefits of coffee and alcohol consumption and that you included how easy it is to get coffee and that helps influence people to get some if they want. Great topic!
ReplyDeleteNever really got a hangover before but if i were to try and cure a hangover i would not drink coffee because i absolutely hate coffee. Its the worse. But the things you can get from drinking scares me because theres no reason to drink that much in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I am so happy to hear that coffee can have some health benefits. As a big fan of coffee and not a fan of hangovers, I find this blog very beneficial to my life and I will definitely test it out. I never thought to drink coffee while hung over and I never would have thought it could potentially be beneficial to my liver. Very informative. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood post, I like it. I don't drink coffee myself but I'll be sure to recommend this to someone else. I like how you added statistics too. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI like my wine as much as the next gal and appreciate that there is a way to help lessen the damage on the liver because of this. I do not drink alcohol excessively, but this information will be very beneficial to some of my friends. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat information on this post. I did not know that coffee can lessen the chance of liver damage, which I find interesting. I do not drink alcohol or coffee, but I like how you related both of them together. I would definitely promote someone to drink coffee to decrease their chance of liver damage. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post! I do not drink coffee myself, but I am thinking of maybe starting to get into it. I did not know all of these perks to drinking coffee. I feel very informed about it now after reading your post. I enjoyed your statistics as well. Thank you for this post!
