The Health Benefits of Beer Drinking
We all know that excessive consumption of Beer or any form of
alcohol is injurious to health and can lead to an early exit from
this wonderful Earth. But did many of you know that controlled
consumption of beer is a healthy practice? One of my friends
recently brewed a home made Barons beer and was quoting to me
“mate, this is my fourth batch of home made beer and am enjoying
it without inviting any trouble”
Let me share some of the reasons to justify the fact that beer
drinking is beneficial:-
Hops, which is used to make beer has a component that prevents
cancer. Xanthohumol makes beer a new anti cancer drug with hops
being high in content. It has been experimented as a preventive
cure against prostate and colon cancer which also may be a form of
therapy for women.
Those who consume alcohol have higher levels of HDL, known as
high-density lipoprotein which is a form of cholesterol often
termed as the ‘good’ one that is a protective form of blood fat.
They also have lower level of protein called fibrinogen that
promotes blood clots.
A recent study on beer consumption revealed the fact that an
increase in the consumption of beer helps to reduce the risk of
kidney stones. Approximately 40% of consumers have a lower risk of
threat from kidney stones. However, it was inconclusive as to what
influenced this result. It could have been water, hops or the
alcohol on the whole.
Chromosomal damage from radiation exposure can be reduced by beer
consumption. This is due to beta-pseudouridine’s content. NIRS,
the National Institute of Radiological sciences conducted a
research with help of a Japanese team on as many as ten blood
samples. These samples were conducted before and after consumption
of beer, approximately 630 ml.
Astonishingly, when the samples were revealed to X-days and other
modules of radiation after the beer consumption, at least 30%
aberrations were found in the blood cells. According to a Swedish
research team, Beer helps in growth of new nerve cells in the
brain. This was proved using mice that was fed with moderate
amount of alcohol.
Every action has a reason. Those who consume beer know it all. It
gives them relaxation and enjoyment, lets them sideline the office
politics, dents in relationship etc.
It might sound weird, but consuming beer helps you to grow in
confidence and speak openly to those whom you wish to. It’s a very
good lubricant for mind and mouth to those who are shy and
introvert. Next time you want to ask a girl on date, have some
beer and try her out.
It would be a contradicting statement to write off beer and yet
speak about the benefits it offers to our health. One needs to
balance the desire to consume beer and addiction for the same. The
day you have control over your emotions, beer is just another
drink that is harmless. I hope and wish sound health for all those
beer lovers.
