A stomach doctor has revealed the drinks he consumes daily to keep his gut and liver healthy.
Dr Saurabh Sethi, a board-certified gastroenterologist, took to his TikTok channel to explain the health benefits of popular beverages, including green tea and coffee.
From keeping your risk of liver disease at bay to benefiting your gut, the following beverages are “great” for your health.
1. Green tea
A popular alternative to coffee, green tea is an “excellent choice” thanks to its content of catechins, which are powerful antioxidants that benefit both the gut and the liver, Dr Sethi explained.
The effects of catechins on your overall health are well-documented by research as well. For example, one study, published in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research and Care, found that drinking four cups of green tea on a daily basis could help people with type 2 diabetes live longer.
