COFFEE AND LIVER HEALTH- Good news! Did you know that drinking coffee may benefit liver health by potentially lowering the risk of liver scarring, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer?? The protective effects are linked to coffee's components, such as caffeine and polyphenols, which can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver. To maximize benefits, drink coffee black or with minimal sugar and plant-based alternatives, but consult a doctor about safe caffeine limits, especially during pregnancy.

Did you know the thermic effect of food (TEF) is generally higher in the morning compared to the evening?. This means your body burns more calories digesting and processing food earlier in the day. Be careful of the late night munchies!!
