yes it is true now beer gaining a status of a drink with health benefits.
A men can consume about 710
ml of beer per day, women should limit it to 355 ml, to reap the health
benefits. If you overdo it, just like any alcohol, beer too can take its toll
on your health. So let’s look at the benefits and risks of drinking beer.
Benefits of
drinking beer
Helps protect bones: Beer, when consumed in
moderation, is said to protect your bone health as it is high in
silicon content. Several studies have shown that beer may help in preventing
bone loss and also rebuild bone mass in men and young women. However, no
benefits have been seen in women in the post-menopausal stage.
Healthy heart: Just like an apple a day keeps the
doctor away, a beer a day may help you keep heart diseases away. Moderate
consumption of beer has many benefits and one of them is the significant
increase in HDL (good) cholesterol. The good cholesterol has anti-clotting
effects which keeps the blood vessels clear and healthy.
Healthy kidneys: A study conducted by Finnish
researchers found that people who consumed beer were at a lower risk of
developing kidney stones when compared to those who drank other types of
alcohol. And this benefit could be due to the high water content in beer. In
addition, the beer’s hops – a flower which gives beer its bitterness and also
acts as a preservative — is said to prevent kidney stones as it slows
down the release of calcium from bones.
