Drinking Beer - Is it good for health ?

Question

I read in a maganize that drinking beer will solve some of our heart problems and it will give more shining to our skin. Also it will reduce the pain in the joints. Is it true?

Answer 1

yes beer is best

Beer is one of the oldest human-produced beverages, possibly dating back to at least the 7th millennium BC (perhaps prior even to bread), and recorded in the written history of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.] Earliest known chemical evidence of beer dates to circa 3500-3100 BC. As almost any substance containing carbohydrates, namely sugar or starch, can naturally undergo fermentation, it is likely that beer-like beverages were independently invented among various cultures throughout the world.

In Europe, beer was being produced by or for monasteries as early as the 7th century. By the 14th and 15th centuries, beer had achieved great popularity, at least in part because health epidemics made drinking beer safer than drinking water. However it was not until the 17th century, according to author and beer expert Michael Jackson, that beer took on the styles and flavours that we might recognise in the beers of today.

Today, the brewing industry is a huge global business, consisting of several multinational companies, and many thousands of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional breweries.

FOR HEALTH
The moderate consumption of alcohol, including beer, is associated with better health and greater longevity than is either abstaining or drinking heavily.

Brewer's yeast is known to be a rich source of nutrients; therefore, as expected, beer can contain significant amounts of nutrients, including magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, and B vitamins. In fact, beer is sometimes referred to as "liquid bread". Some sources maintain that filtered beer loses much of its nutrition.

A 2005 Japanese study found that low alcohol beer may possess strong anti-cancer properties. Another study found nonalcoholic beer to mirror the cardiovascular benefits associated with moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages. However, much research suggests that the primary health benefit from alcoholic beverages comes from the alcohol they contain.

It is considered that over-eating and lack of muscle tone is the main cause of a beer belly, rather than beer consumption. A recent study, however, found a link between binge drinking and a beer belly. But with most overconsumption it is more a problem of improper exercise and overconsumption of carbohydrates than the product itself.

There is evidence that very heavy and prolonged consumption of alcohol may lead to liver damage and also leave the organ vulnerable to cancer cells.

Answer 2

NO...whatever our friends may say Beer consumption is definitely harmful.... Wine is the one which has the medicinal properties - when taken in very miniscule amounts it can solve our skin problems - but as the adage goes ' too much of anything is good for nothing ' which holds good for wine too. Contrary to he popular belief beer in no way cools the body but rather contributes in adding more heat.

Answer 3

The only benefit that alcohol has for the heart is to keep the blood thin. Other than that it is really just a good tasting beverage with a lot of empty calories that will eventually wreck your liver.
