Coffee is good for liver health!

A British Liver Trust report (published June 2016) ‘Coffee and the liver – the potential health benefits’ confirms coffee is good for liver health. It is the first time that the entire body of current research and evidence has been reviewed and compiled into a single report.

The report provides evidence that:

*Regularly drinking moderate amounts of coffee may prevent liver cancer – the World Health Organisation has recently confirmed this reduced risk after reviewing more than 1,000 studies in humans
*Coffee also lowers the risk of other liver conditions including fibrosis (scar tissue that builds up within the liver) and cirrhosis
*Drinking coffee can slow the progression of liver disease in some patients
*Beneficial effects have been found however the coffee is prepared – filtered, instant and espresso

However, it is important to remember that although drinking coffee may protect you from developing liver disease and can in addition help those who already have some degree of liver damage – the key messages for good liver health remain reducing the amount of alcohol we drink, eating a good diet, drinking plenty of water, doing regular exercise and keeping to a health weight.

Fatty liver linked with heart failure (article credit to thenewdaily)

If you develop fatty liver disease (NAFLD) this week, then there’s a good chance that within the next 10 years your heart won’t be pumping adequate blood through your body.

Numerous studies from the past couple of years have identified a link between NAFLD and heart failure.

The latest research – a meta-analysis of about 11 million individuals from Italian and British researchers – is the first to quantify the risk against a time frame.

Overall, they found that people with NAFLD had a 50 per cent higher risk of suffering heart failure.

But the risk increases with the severity of the disease.

When the condition progresses to extensive liver fibrosis (scarring), the risk of heart failure was 76 per cent.

It’s largely asymptomatic, but some people will suffer fatigue and experience pain or discomfort in the upper-right abdomen.

But over time, NAFLD is a progressive disease and can wreck the liver to the same extent as alcohol abuse. The reality is, NAFLD is reversible – by eating more vegetables and fruit, and otherwise a healthier diet, and by getting off the couch and doing a little exercise every day.

For men, & alcohol-associated are the main causes.

the only way to reverse currently is weight loss?

In patients w/ morbid obesity, one pathway towards weight loss is bariatric surgery, which may decrease the likelihood of / by 90%
