What Happens to Your Liver If You Drink Coffee Every Morning | Science Explained

Science Explained: Learn how drinking coffee every morning affects liver function, fat metabolism, and long-term liver health.

In this Science Explained video, we examine what happens to your liver when you drink coffee every morning and how compounds in coffee influence liver enzymes, fat accumulation, and inflammatory signaling.

Coffee contains caffeine and bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acids, which interact with liver metabolism and detoxification pathways. This video explains how regular coffee consumption may affect liver fat storage, insulin sensitivity, and oxidative stress, and why these effects can occur independently of overall calorie intake.

We also explore how daily coffee intake is associated with changes in liver enzyme levels, why tolerance to caffeine matters, and when coffee may support liver health versus have minimal impact. The video explains what science shows about coffee consumption, liver protection, and realistic expectations over time.

Discover:
• How coffee compounds affect liver metabolism
• Changes in liver enzymes with regular coffee intake
• Effects on liver fat and insulin sensitivity
• The role of antioxidants and oxidative stress
• Differences between short-term and long-term effects
• What science says about coffee and liver health
