so I had another question that someone

wanted to know is coffee bad for your

liver okay well actually and I’m gonna

list the studies down below it’s a

paddle protective it actually has the

ability to protect your liver the liver

is about 3.3 pounds the size of a

football it’s located right here it’s

one of the largest organs that you have

second to the skin and it does a lot of

things it filters toxins it’s involved

in blood sugars it helps make bile its

stores fat soluble vitamins its main job

is to detoxify though but it has a total

of about 500 functions and coffee has

the capacity to protect liver cells and

even decrease liver enzymes so what is

in coffee that can benefit the liver

it’s the phyto nutrients plant-based

chemical antioxidants okay it contains a

lot I listed several right here and they

can help you regulate bile they have

anti-inflammatory effects increasing

vitamin D stabilizing blood sugars

reducing insulin anything that reduces

insulin is going to help your liver

because one of the causes of liver

damage is high insulin if you have a

phytonutrient that can help minimize

that damage it can improve the liver

cells and it’s interesting because

coffee actually has more antioxidants

than tea even green tea and even red

wine and if you’re thinking what about

when they roasted aren’t they destroying

the enzymes actually when you roast the

bean you increase the antioxidants which

is quite interesting but realize that

when you grind the coffee bean okay and

it’s exposed to oxygen you lose a lot of

the antioxidants so if you’re going to

consume coffee make sure that the time

spanned between when you’re grinding the

coffee and you’re actually drinking the

coffee is not too long because oxygen

can destroy these phytonutrients okay so

now you get all the positive things

about coffee there’s a few negatives

okay number one caffeine caffeine can

stimulate this sympathetic nervous

system that’s the flight-or-fight that’s

like activating your dreams okay so this

can greatly decrease your ability to

sleep and that can create a whole series

of issues how much coffee do I recommend

personally I would recommend doing one

cup in the morning okay not before bed

so if you drink in the morning obviously

it will actually give your system and

your liver a chance to break this down

so you can actually sleep at night but

if you’re drinking too much coffee you

can get an over stimulation of the

sympathetic nervous system I mean if you

ever see the long lines at Starbucks

there’s people drinking coffee all day

and all night so if you have fatigue and

you’re tired all the time and you’re

drinking coffee to stay awake you’re

kind of covering up an underlying

problem that you should fix and if you

do have a Teague I put a link down below

of what causes that so you can fix that

but so many people are using coffee to

stimulate and boost their energy but

they end up wearing out the part of the

autonomic nervous system and then they

have issues down the road okay

all right chemicals the coffee bean is

the most heavily sprayed crop in the

world so there’s so many chemicals that

are sprayed on these coffee beans so

just do organic coffee

problem solved alright last point is

this the more caffeine you consume the

more depletion of certain vitamins

specifically vitamin b1 calcium and

potassium so if you’re consuming too

much coffee you’re gonna have to put

those vitamins back alright so that’s

the end of the video and now I want you

to comment below and tell me how many

cups of coffee do you consume per day

and how large are those cups of coffee
