There are many health benefits of moderate consumption of red wine. Recently, however, a lot of scientific studies have appeared confirming the beneficial effects of beer on the human body.
On the benefits of drinking beer
According to research by Dr. George Philliskerk of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling, beer in moderate doses has an extremely positive effect on the body. However, the issue of dosage plays an important role - no more than half a liter for women and a liter for men. At the same time, according to the scientist, the beer belly, which gives an unaesthetic appearance, is a myth. Phylliskerk believes that beer belly does not arise from alcoholic beverage, but due to a sedentary lifestyle.
According to research by employees of the Spanish University of Granada, beer quenches thirst much better than water. Scientists of the institute have found that due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the foamy drink, the liquid is absorbed by the body much faster, thereby quenching thirst better. In addition, beer contains a number of trace elements, in particular potassium, which helps to improve digestion.
Harvard professor Charles Bamforth claims that beer in general contains more nutrients than all other alcoholic beverages. According to him, beer is good for bones, as the ethanol contained in this drink slows down the process of bone tissue destruction, and silicon increases the content of minerals in bones. In addition, beer contains up to 30% of the daily value of healthy dietary fiber, which stabilizes the intestinal microflora.
The Spanish Pediatric Association found that drinking non-alcoholic beer has the same beneficial effects as an alcoholic counterpart. It contains the same amount of beneficial trace elements and minerals. Also, employees of the institute have proven that beer in moderation is beneficial for nursing mothers.
On the social benefits of beer
It is worth noting that studies in the field of the influence of beer not only on health, but also on human social skills are carried out by economists and psychologists. Scientists at the University of California recently published research results on the role of alcohol in increasing human income. According to the latest data, moderately alcoholic employees generate an average of 10-14% more income for their companies than non-alcoholic workers. Being an open caste for everyone except inveterate teetotalers, they get much more opportunities to establish contacts, since they have a greater degree of socialization in society.
