Health Benefits Of Drinking Beer

We all know that beer is rich in heart friendly antioxidants. But did you know that your favourite beer could be healthier than you realise. Beer can help you lower the risk of heart diseases, strokes, gallstones and kidney stones.

Benefits of Beer :

Reduces Heart Disease :

Vitamin B6, found in beer,  prevents the build-up of homocysteine, an amino acid which has been linked to heart disease.  Higher levels of homocysteine in our bodies can make us more susceptible to vascular and heart diseases.

Reduces The Risk of Cancer : 

Beer has found to be an aid that will help in reducing the carcinogens and thus it helps in reducing the risks of cancer in a moderate beer drinker. Beer has certain compounds or enzymes that help in breaking down or fighting carcinogens.

Lowers Cholesterol :

Moderate consumption of beer has been shown to increase the HDL cholesterol and lowers the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), also know as the bad cholesterol in postmenopausal women.  Analyzed data suggests more than one or two servings per day is not productive and considered detrimental.

Increase Brain Health :
Drinking beer can also help you to protect against Alzheimer’s and other brain degeneration. Women who drank just one beer per day had improved brain function. The beer also seemed to offer a protection against cognitive decline.

Reduces the Risk of Diabetes :

Enjoying a beer or two per day can also reduce your risk of developing diabetes. Lowered the risk for middle-aged men by as much as 25 percent.  However, the benefits stopped after drinking more than two beers per day, so don’t let the good news cause you to celebrate too much.
