Three cups of decaffeinated coffee a day may be good for your liver

Scientists believe coffee contains a compound - other than caffeine - which protects the liver

According to a new study, people who drink three or more cups of coffee a day, irrespective of caffeine content, had lower levels of the abnormal liver enzymes that are a sign of damaged liver cells.

Large amounts of caffeine could damage your health....memory loss and increased rates of heart disease and cancer, so scientists recommend decaffeinated coffee.

Previous studies found that coffee consumption may help lower the risk of developing diabetes, stroke, liver disease, and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver due to long-term liver damage).

The findings were published in the journal Hepatology, a journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.







How To Choose The Best Skirt Style For Your Body Type

1. If you’re an Apple (slim lower body, carry weight around your middle) you look fantastic in high-waist flouncy skirts.

Why?
The waistband will hit at the smallest part of the torso and flare out over the stomach, hiding the mid-section. The short hemline will show off slender legs.

Apple-shaped women gravitate to pleated skirts so as to create structure to camouflage the stomach.

2. If you’re a Banana (waist, hip, and shoulders are all about the same width), you look fantastic in form-fitting mini skirts.

Why?
​A form-fitting skirt will emphasize any curves you do have, and the short hemline will show off your slim legs.

A patterned mini skirt is your best bet. The print will draw attention to your bottom-half, creating the illusion of curves.

3. If you’re an Hourglass (curvy, with a well-defined waist) you look fantastic in pencil skirts.

Why?
A pencil skirt accentuates your curves, smoothing out your thighs.

4. If you’re a Pear (hips are the widest part of your body) you look fantastic in A-line skirts.

Why?
An A-line skirt highlights the smallest part of your waist, and flares out over hips, minimizing the width of your bottom half.
