Welcome to the Dr. Berg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Dr. Eric Berg.

Now, I do admit that I have a lot of videos on things that you have to avoid because they're bad for you.

But today I'm going to talk about an addiction, I'm sorry, a drink that you won't have to avoid.

And I will be the first to admit that I am completely and utterly addicted to coffee.

And it's benefits.

And there's one thing in coffee called chlorogenic acid.

It's in other foods as well, but it's definitely in coffee.

If you drink green coffee, you will have more of this chemical. And I have done other videos on the

benefits of coffee, adding butter and MCT oil to your coffee to help you fast longer. But there's

some interesting research on coffee in that it can help decrease the risk

for metabolic syndrome. It gives you neuro protection for your brain, cardiovascular protection,

and even studies that show that it can be anticarcinogenic. Coffee definitely can suppress your appetite, which is good to do in the

morning if you're fasting. And also, this compound right here can act to help reduce inflammation.

And there's a significant amount of magnesium in coffee, as well as certain vitamins,

specifically B3 and B2. Now, of course, these benefits are not going to

occur if you're drinking pots of coffee like I used to drink in college. So I'm talking about a very

moderate or small amount of coffee. Personally, I recommend only drinking one cup of coffee in the early

morning. But we have this liver here,

and the liver actually does a lot of things. One thing it does is it makes bile. Okay, so the bile

is produced by the liver, drains down these little tubes right here and gets stored in the gallbladder.
