Beer makes up more than 40% of
alcoholic drinks consumed globally and is the third most popular drink
worldwide after water and tea.
This enjoyable beverage is
widely-consumed and is recorded as one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the
world.
Although it associated with
lifestyle choices and social activities, beer contains some incredible properties
making it an incredible health boost for humans.
It should be noted that the
health benefits of beer are mostly functional when consumed moderately and
responsibly.
Improves eyesight
A study conducted by the
University of Western Ontario suggests that drinking beer can minimize the risk
of cataract.
Beer consumption also protects
the eye as the enzymes and antioxidants contained in beverages prevents
mitochondrial damage.
Great for the heart
Beer has a thinning effect on the
blood thereby decreasing any chances of a blood clot, which causes blockage of
the coronary artery as well as the reduction of the risk of inflammation which
causes atherosclerosis.
Coronary heart disease (CAD) is
one of the most common kinds of heart diseases affecting individuals in a wide
age range and the function of beer reducing the chances of a blood clot in the
coronary artery, a major cause of CAD, is a big deal.
Promotes good skin
You can say goodbye to acne or
blackheads with beer. The vitamins present in this beverage act as corrective
forces for skin acne. Beer is a great cleanser and dissolves dead skin cells.
Additionally, it aids in
balancing skin pH levels as well as increasing skin elasticity. When mixed with
lemon juice, beer can act rapidly to clear skin depigmentation and blocked
pores (the major cause of acne or skin breakouts).
Minimizes the risk of diabetes
Diabetes is a disease which
causes a person’s blood glucose or blood sugar to be too high. The common kinds
of diabetes include Prediabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and
Gestational diabetes.
A recent study by Harvard
suggests that by drinking just a pint of beer daily, (moderate drinking) both
males and females stand a lesser chance of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Noteworthy statement
Although beer consumption is
related to a number of health benefits, it is important to note that the
keyword in it’s positive relevance to the health is drinking in moderation.
Additionally, beer drinking isn’t
for everyone; underaged individuals, persons with high blood pressure, pregnant
and breastfeeding women should also not consume beer.
Similarly, persons suffering from
asthma, liver disease, insomnia, mental problems, or persons who have recently
undergone surgery should avoid consuming beer.
In the event of uncertainty, seel
the counsel of a medical practitioner before drinking beer.
