BEER, A GOOD OR BAD TO YOUR HEALTH?



Most men drink Beer because it makes you feel good. You knew that. But you don't realize just how good. Recent research has revealed bioactive compounds in beer that battle cancer, boost your metabolism, and more. And these benefits come on top of the oft-touted upsides of moderate alcohol intake: clot prevention, cleaner arteries, and reduced stress. We set out with a stack of studies, a panel of parched testers, and a full fridge to find the best-tasting, healthiest brews available.

Beer is nutritious if consumed in moderation 

  • That beer is fat-free and cholesterol free? 

  • Beer has a relaxing effect on the body thereby reducing stress. 

  • It can help you sleep better 

  • It helps prevent heart disease and improves the blood circulation 

  • It has proven to have positive effects on elderly people. It helps to promote blood vessel dilation, sleep, and urination. 



An average beer contains the following:

0mg of cholesterol 
0g of fat 
13g of carbohydrate 
25mg of sodium 
protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins B, B2, and B6 

Beer in cooking is deeply rooted in Western Europe. Beer is incomparable as a cooking tool. With its unique flavors and versatilities is it unmatched. Due to the fact that alcohol has a much lower boiling temperature than water, it evaporates quickly while cooking your recipe and thereby only leaves the characteristic taste of the beer.

Beer also contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of amino acid called homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease. 

What’s interesting is that it was proven (New England Journal of Medicine – Nov. 1999) that those who drank one beer a week compared to those who drank one beer a day experienced no variance in reducing stroke risks. It is said that light to moderate drinkers will decrease their chances of suffering a stroke by 20%.
