Although there are many articles that say the dangers of consuming coffee, there are also many articles that say the benefits of consuming black coffee. Maybe what we should pay attention to is the type of coffee we consume. Is it black coffee or milk coffee or sachet coffee or contemporary coffee (whatever the term is)?
Because in my opinion, if we really consume fresh black coffee without a mixture of sugar or milk, then there are many benefits that we can feel. This time I want to discuss 12 scientific reasons why you should drink black coffee every day. Previously, I want to make sure again, the black coffee referred to here is pure black coffee without a mixture of sugar and milk. Truly black coffee. What are the reasons?
1. Healthy Liver Organ Functions
Unlike drinking alcohol, it turns out that drinking black coffee every day can nourish your liver function.

In addition, by consuming the same amount, the chances of developing liver cancer are 40{8f88e5b5da9605a9a7428c5975c38930642a70b6534bd5bbb2be95313c655561} lower. Amazing isn’t it?
2. Make Smarter
Coffee contains caffeine. Caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant. When we drink black coffee, caffeine enters our digestive tract, then into our bloodstream. and finally into our brain (this process takes about 30-45 minutes). And when caffeine hits our brain, it will block one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters in our brain, namely Adenosine.
That is why, when we drink black coffee, our concentration increases again. You feel the same way too right?

Drinking a few cups of coffee a day has the same effect as going for a walk, which will make our heart healthy. But don’t use it as an excuse not to exercise. Still must be balanced with exercise.
10. Cleansing the Digestive System in the Body
It turns out that coffee is a diuretic (it functions to remove excess salt and water from the body through urine). By drinking coffee often, we will also urinate frequently. Of course this will be good for our bodies, because it will keep the digestive system clean. Because the human body often gets rid of harmful viruses and bacteria in this way. And it is proven that people who often drink black coffee are less likely to get sick.
