Doctor reveals the drink that can reduce fat in the liver

Drinking three to four cups of unsweetened black coffee a day can reduce fat in the liver and protect the organ from long-term damage, according to Dr. Shubham Vatsya (India).

Black coffee is rich in antioxidants, supports fat metabolism and detoxifies the body, while also boosting heart health by improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation, according to the Times of India (India).

Black coffee helps reduce fat accumulation

According to Dr. Vatsya, black coffee is not only a drink that helps you stay awake, but is also liver-friendly, helping to reduce fat accumulation in the liver.

Coffee contains many bioactive compounds such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid (CGA), trigonelline, diterpenes, melanoidins - all of which play important roles in supporting metabolism and liver function.

These compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and fat-regulating effects, making coffee a liver-healthy beverage.

Black coffee without milk or sugar is the only natural beverage proven to reduce liver fat.

Fat accumulation in the liver (also known as fatty liver disease) is becoming a worldwide concern. The cause is often due to an unhealthy diet, obesity, insulin resistance or heavy alcohol consumption. Over time, this condition can lead to liver inflammation, fibrosis, progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and even cirrhosis.

A study published in the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that regular coffee consumption can slow or reverse this process by increasing liver enzyme activity and promoting fat metabolism.

However, Dr. Vatsya emphasizes that this benefit only applies to plain black coffee. Adding milk, cream, or sugar can counteract the effect—as these ingredients increase calories and can cause insulin resistance, reducing the liver-protective benefits of coffee.

How much black coffee helps reduce liver fat?

According to Dr. Vatsya, drinking 3-4 cups a day can help reduce liver fat, boost metabolism, and prevent new fat accumulation. Coffee acts as a natural detoxifier, helping to cleanse the body and improve liver performance.

However, doctors also recommend drinking in moderation. Drinking more than 3-4 cups/day can cause restlessness, anxiety or indigestion due to the high caffeine content.

People with heart problems, stomach problems, or caffeine sensitivities should consult their doctor before changing their coffee drinking habits.
