It may sound strange to you but beer also has its good for health. In fact, a glass of beer can be well integrated into a balanced diet, giving enjoyment and beneficial properties.
Take a look at its 8 benefits.
1. It has many nutrients
Since it is produced mainly from water, barley, yeast (or yeast) and hops - some beers add other ingredients such as sugar or other cereals - it contains significant amounts of antioxidants, B vitamins, calcium, trace elements (such as magnesium). and carbohydrates.
2. It is good for the heart and kidneys
When you drink beer in moderation you make a gift to your heart as the fiber it contains reduces the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood and therefore reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems, while its antioxidants also protect heart health. As for the kidneys, its high water content enhances the proper functioning of the kidneys by removing toxins from the body. In addition, since it is a diuretic it reduces the chance of kidney stones.
3. Fights osteoporosis
Among the beneficial properties of beer is that it enhances skeletal strength, reducing the gradual reduction of bone density. However, note that this only happens when you do not overdo the beer.
4. Reduces the chance of developing Alzheimer's
Due to the silicon it contains, beer reduces the chance of developing memory problems, thus reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to enhancing memory, beer also helps concentration.
5. It is good for hair and skin
It is no coincidence that beer shampoos are on the market, as the famous drink gives shine to hair and skin, mainly due to the vitamin B it contains. Specifically, the consumption of beer helps hydrate the skin, while a bath with beer once in a while is good for dull and dull hair, while giving them volume. Of course, there is no need to bathe in beer every day, once in a while.
6. It's what you need for after exercise!
The carbohydrates it contains give you energy, which you need so much especially after an exhausting exercise program, while the beers that do not contain alcohol make you thirsty.
7. Beer for sleeping like a bird
The mind may go to the deep sleep that usually follows a drunk, but we do not mean that. Its secret lies in the hops it contains, which is known for its soothing and calming properties.
8. End to the myth of the belly
The so-called "beer belly" may scare you, but the truth is that beer does not make you fat, at least when you consume it in reasonable quantities - about 1 glass a day. The biggest enemy of your silhouette are the appetizers that accompany the beer or otherwise sausages, cold cuts, cheeses, potato salad, nuts, etc. And from calories?
An ordinary 300ml glass yields about 120-150 calories, with the number falling as it falls and the amount of alcohol they contain with non-alcoholic beers having around 70 calories per glass. Plus it does not contain fat while it has low sugars.
Did you know that;
* Blondes can be drunk cold but blacks are more pleasant to drink when they are just cool.
* No matter how much you rush to enjoy the beer, you should never put it in the freezer, because its ingredients are altered, while when you go to open it, you will not avoid the "accident" of overflow. The same does not apply to the glass of beer, of course, which, entering the freezer for a while, gives you a nice effect of really cold beer.
