Top 11 positive effects of beer on health, everything is a matter of moderation
How many times have you hesitated before accepting a little foam, shared
between the desire to refresh yourself and a form of guilt, "wait, I
look ... 10am ... it's still a limit", Thinking that this little
hops-based pleasure brought you a little closer to the grave? Well, it's
time to restore the truth: beer is good for what you have. In any case
what is found in some works caught on Google by typing "according to a
study, beer is good for ..." A small anthology of these university
papers that justify happy-hours:
1. Beer reduces the risk of heart attack
TopSanté affirms that in its columns, a study has shown that a daily
consumption of 400ml of beer improves blood circulation and the exchange
of nutrients. And do not try to chew, it works less well with
non-alcoholic beer (or the cooler). The study also shows that it does
not work with vodka, but that, we would have suspected.
2. Beer reduces diabetes
Two beers for men, one for women, this is what advocates a Spanish
study to fight effectively against diabetes. Humulones, the active
ingredient in hops that gives beer its bitter taste, would have a
preventive effect against diabetes.
3. Beer strengthens the bones
The magic formula that even your bar boss does not know: ethanol +
silicon + phytoestrogens in a glass of 50cl is the breakfast of the
champions. Still Spanish researchers (always in the good shots) who
conducted this study on women by making them swallow a pint a day. X-ray
exams have spoken: beer makes you invincible.
4. Beer does not make you fat
A pint a day would even make you slim down. So obviously, the study is
careful to specify that we have to combine these binouzes with exercise
and a serious diet, but vitamin B9 present in our pressure glasses would
contribute to our daily needs without weighing on the scales.
5. Beer is as moisturizing as water after exercise
This is a paper presented at the Symposium "Beer and Health" held in
Belgium in 2011, to give you an idea of the seriousness of the thing
and the lack of lobbying. In any case, it's a Spaniard (what's their
problem?) Who found that, beer after a jog, it is not a problem in the
process of rehydration. A beer at half-time, and we go back.
6. The beer protects against cold snaps
Another dubious study, since ordered by a Japanese brewer. As a result,
beer becomes the magic potion and helps exterminate the viruses that
cause bronchitis and pneumonia. Small precision, for it to be effective,
it is necessary to slip a good thirty cans. Now, if you really do not
want to get caught, you know what you have to do.
7. Beer protects against kidney stones
The American Journal of Epidemiology is sure: the consumption of beer
reduces by 40% the formation of these horribly painful pebbles in the
kidneys. In any case, it works for the Finns, objects of this study.
That said, Dr. Tero Hirvonen agrees, it's mainly because there is water
in the beer that it works. So any beverage that pee, it should work.
8. Beer improves memory
And helps prevent against Alzheimer's. This is essentially one of the
conclusions of a study from the University of Auckland. If you drink to
forget, you are wrong: alcohol can wake up painful memories and make you
drink more. In the end, you'll just forget where you left your car,
you'll have won everything ...
9. Beer makes smart
It can not be seen at first glance, but according to a study from the
University of Chicago, men are brighter after swallowing a few beers.
Think about it the next time you land at a bar of drunkards on a Friday
night, all these guys leaning on the counter are potential Nobel Prize
winners.
10. The beer makes you happy
It's not just the health of your body that matters, there is also
mental health. And if you could observe people soaked in hops who looked
particularly "happy", even "happy to the point of not knowing where they
live", know that an American study has looked into the subject. And we
learn that the taste of beer triggers the secretion of dopamine and a
test on samples of guinea pigs, half turning to beer and the other to
Gatorade, shows very clearly that beer drinkers are happier. And ask for
more. Which is a problem.
11. Beer protects from barbecue cancer
This is how we summarize this study relayed on April 1 by Metronews.
But we still believe it because it explains to us that the beer helps to
mitigate the carcinogenic effects of the grilled hamburger bbq. FYI, it
is especially the dark beer that is effective, in marinade, before
cooking. And if you drink one between two sausages, it can not hurt.
In short, in any case, drink in moderation! :)
