4 Healthy Reasons for Drinking Beer – Get Me a Beer
Beer is an alcoholic drink, but that alone does not make it a danger to your health. Only extreme consumption leads to hangovers, headaches & eventually more harsh 
health problems. A moderate consumption of beer has no negative impact on your health.
With that in mind, let us see some of the points favoring beer consumption & their counterpoints:
Beer Contains no Fat, but It Does Cause the “Beer Belly”
You have heard that beer makes people fat – the “beer belly” is a famous expression all around the world. Well, actually, beer itself contains no fat & there are plenty of beer diets you can seek to get thin (beer diets aren’t based on calorie calculation). So what precisely causes the beer belly? Excessive drinking of beer means extreme consumption of alcohol. Alcohol can reduce the body’s capacity to burn fat. And you have heard people saying that consuming a glass of beer equals eating a piece of bread. The “liquid bread”, they say. That is right, as beer contains alcohol & alcohol contains “calories”. Beer Is Low in Sugar, but Can Cause Your Sugar Levels to Drop
The low levels of sugar in beer are a positive aspect. But beer contains alcohol & alcohol will cause the natural sugar levels in your blood to drop, leading to fatigue & a low energy level. Too much beer & you can go straight to bed. On the contrary, alcohol lowers level of insulin. That makes beer perfect for non-diabetics, as it reduces the chances of developing arteriosclerosis.
Beer May Help to Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease
Because it contains no cholesterol & it contains polyphenols with anti-oxidant qualities that’ll reduce the “dreadful cholesterol”, also known as cholesterol LDL oxidation, beer can reduce the danger of heart diseases. Drinking beer also help in relieving stress. That’s good news. But again: sensible consumption! Not more than 1 beer per day for women & 2 for men & definitely not every day! Alcohol also acts as a blood thinner, thus not only your heart is protected, but the risk of stroke is also diminished.
Beer Is Very Nutritious, but It Can Destroy Vitamin C
So far we know that beer is a great source of fiber. It also contains considerable amounts of minerals – potassium, magnesium, phosphorus & plenty of B vitamins: B2 (riboflavin), B1 (thiamine), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxin) B5 (pantothenic acid), B12 inotisol & B9 (folate). But, alcohol destroys vitamin C.
Beer is 98% Water, but Still a Diuretic
Although 98% water, beer is a diuretic as it contains alcohol. That means you should not drink too much & never replace water with beer. To avoid headaches & hangovers caused by dehydration you should always have a glass of water between each glass of alcohol you drink.
Keep in Mind Excessive Consumption of Alcohol is Harmful for Your Family & Beloved ones!
Cheers!
