Is drinking Beer good for health?

Question

i mean drinking beer twice in a week. I have also heard that taking beer helps u gain weight, is it true.... Any other suggestions about beer???

Answer 1

I drink beer daily, and recommend it for health and longevity.

Answer 2

Someone who drinks a little is expected to live three years longer than a teetotaller.

Beer has been found to have a mildly beneficial effect in reducing the risks of heart attacks and strokes if taken in moderation.

Beer is fattening. It can induce flattulance and the well known beer gut. Drunk in excess it can cause many medical problems.

Answer 3

twice a week is good, so long as you don't mean drinking your head off-- twice a week.

general rule of health is a bottle a day, tops.
it makes you gain weight, true (what doesn't?) -- but only if you don't have acitvity to burn off the calories.

suggestions- 1. one bottle a day is a good limit. to make two drinks, i mix a bottle of beer with a tall glass of red iced-tea. (this costs 10 points, pls.) you'll be surprised that it's actually nice. 2.two to three bottles 2x a week may be forgivable. 3.exercise a lot to prevent that beer-belly. better to prevent than try to remove.

best wishes. cheers!

Answer 4

That say that one beer once a day is good for some part of the body ( i think it's kidneys but i'm not sure). . . but yes it does cause weight gain. So make sure to drink lots of water and exercise.

NO. Theres plenty of ways to gain weight ............not alcohol.

People can get addicted. Can kill someone while drunk. And it's not 'grown up' to drink. It's not a good choice to drink at all.

Answer 8

The FDA has just announced that "whole grain barley and barley-containing products are allowed to claim that they reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD)."

Beer is made from wholesome ingredients: malt, hops, yeast and water. All these materials have natural components which contribute to a healthy, balanced diet

Beer is 93% water and is an enjoyable means of taking this essential substance. Beer is a thirst quenching long drink which is relatively low in alcohol.

Beer can be part of a balanced diet, providing essential vitamins ano minerals . In particular it has a beneficial balance of minerals. It is high in potassium and low in sodium - the right balance for healthy (low) blood pressure

It is low in calcium and rich in magnesiuni which may help to protect against gallstones and kidney stone formation. Additionally hops contain active compounds which prevent the removal of calcium from bones. This may be one reason why daily consumption of beer (a 330m1 bottle of 4.5% abv (12g alcohol)) has been shown to reduce the risk of kidney stones by 40%.

Beer drinkers are protected from the organism (Helicobacter pyori) which is known to cause stomach ulcers and may be a risk factor for stomach cancer.

Beer is also a source of soluble fibre which is derived from the cell walls of malted barley . A litre of beer contains an average of 20% of the recommended daily intake of fibre and some beers can provide up to 60%. As well as aiding a healthy bowel function, this has a further benefit by slowing down the digestion and absorption of food and reducing cholesterol levels which may help to reduce the risk of heart disease

Beer is an excellent source of vitamins which are essential for life. In particular beer is rich in the B vitamins for example niacin, riboflavin, pyridoxine (B6) and folate.

Recent research suggests that vitamin B6 in beer gives beer drinkers additional protection against cardiovascular disease compared to drinkers of wine or spirits Folate has been shown to be protective against cardiovascular disease and some cancers

Beer is also a source of antioxidants which play a role in the fight against cancer.
