Beer and nutrition? You don't usually see those two words together, but perhaps beer is a bit misunderstood. It may really be good for you when consumed in very moderate amounts and living a healthy lifestyle can be achieved by moderate drinking.
Beer has been brewed for just about as long as humans have been cultivating crops and is truly made with some very healthy ingredients. Those ingredients are hops, brewer's yeast, barley and malt. There are different kinds of beer and each kind has a distinctive flavor and color. Tasting and learning on the different types of beer is as much fun as tasting and learning about the different types of wine.
Drinking one beer per day may be good for your health and one way of living a healthy lifestyle since it has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Some experts propose that the folate found in beer may help to reduce homocysteine in the blood and lower homocysteine levels mean a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, lab studies have found constituents in beer that lower triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in mice and drinking one beer per day is like living a healthy lifestyle since it reduces blood clotting so some studies found that cardiovascular patients who drank one beer per day also lived longer.
Other studies have found out those women who consume one beer each day is living a healthy lifestyle since it improved mental health. Drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages in moderation can also improve bone density.
Of course that doesn't intend that if one beer is good, three or four bottles of beer is still living a healthy lifestyle but its not. That isn't true. Drinking more than one beer or any alcoholic beverage per day can put too much alcohol in your system and that isn't good for you. Heavy drinking has been linked with several health problems and may not lead you in living a healthy lifestyle, so moderation is definitely the key with drinking beer. Some studies also point to one beer per day as being beneficial and can lead you in living a healthy lifestyle, and not drinking all seven beers or more in one day per week. That type of drinking habit will overload your system with alcohol.
The advantage of beer nutrition probably have nothing to do with the alcohol and there are some low-alcohol beers and non-alcohol beers available which offer the same heart-protective effect as regular and light beers. Drinking beer is one benefit that can lead you to a healthy lifestyle.
