Silicon Content in
Beer and Wine Helps Bone Growth
There’s good news for those who like the taste of a good brew!
According to a research conducted comprising of over 2,900 men and
women, it was found that content of silicon in beer might improve
bone health. It is a mineral that stimulates collagen production
and helps in bone formation by building a block. Coming to Wine,
its richness in phytochemicals helps bones wellness. This however
differs when it comes to men and women depending on their sex and
the report is inconclusive. Katherine Tucker, a PhD holder in a
recent interview said “I feel that two cans of beer can help women
in their bone wellness, whereas two glasses of wine could benefit
men for the same”. To add, a study conducted over 2,847 people
known as Framingham Osteoporosis found that pre-menopausal women
and men who consumed the most silicon, approximately 40 mg per day
have the highest density for bone mineral which is a reflection of
bone health. We find it pretty hard to judge the amount of Silicon
consumption as it’s rarely printed on the food labels. However,
approximately 7 mg of Silicon is found in a single 12-ounce beer.
Excessive drinking is harmful no matter who you are. If you can’t
get a grip on the consumption of beverages such as beer, vodka,
wine and scotch, they will harm you to an extent that can be life
threatening. If you are consuming two 6 ounce glasses of wine or
two cans of beer, it’s good for bone growth. Regular consumption
of distilled beverages such as Scotch and Vodka results in
osteoporosis which is harmful for our health. It’s a disease you
might want to be away from. Want to know why? Well, it makes your
bones venerable to breaks and results in brittleness.
Postmenopausal women tend to suffer Osteoporosis more compared to
men and it increases with our age.
For betterment of heart, you can have few sips of red wine
occasionally. A controlled consumption of red wine results in the
well-being of heart, which impacts on the bones. We all know that
good nutrition is needed for both bones and heart. Some other
studies conducted recently point out that good nutrition apart
from serving bones and heart also plays a key role in the well
being of brain.
Two drinks a day for men and one for women is the most optimized
and recommended diet for bones. Next time you go to party, keep
these points in mind. Enjoy your drink, but don’t invite trouble
by excessive consumption. It’s a sensible idea to enjoy drink as
long as it doesn’t harm your physical and or mental well-being.
It’s not essential that beer and wine are the only two available
sources for bone growth. We all know that consumption of beer and
wine can become an addiction which is harmful for health. I
therefore recommend alternatives that contain Silicon such as
melons, mangoes, dates, apples, spinach and bottled mineral
waters. You can have them regularly and keep yourself out of
danger.
