When you go out to a bar, especially if you are limited on cash, the first drink you would normally choose is beer. Well, I certainly do anyway. Normally you are able to muster up the change in your coin purse and grab yourself a nice cold pint after work. The only downside? Beer is unhealthy, right? Full of empty calories and carbohydrates, the beer belly that runs in your family is always at the back of your mind after your second or third round. Luckily for us, this guilt needn’t be. Studies have shown that there are many reasons why we actually SHOULD keep buying pints. Read on to find out the benefits of drinking beer. NB: This is all to be in moderation, please be drink-aware before and after this article.
It Keeps Your Kidneys Healthy
A Finnish study has shown that one of the benefits to drinking beer is that it helps reduce the risk of kidney stones by 40%.
It Combats Stress
Maybe a slightly obvious answer for many alcoholic substances, but researchers at the University of Montreal found that two glasses of beer a day can relieve work related stress and anxiety. Who’s joining me at the pub later?
Beer Can Smooth Your Skin
Beer contains vitamins that have a positive impact on women’s skin pigmentation, leaving them with smoother complexions.
It Contains Vital Vitamins
A Dutch study found that those who drink beer regularly had a higher percent of vitamin B6. B6 is vital for giving you energy and maintaining healthy skin, hair and eyes.
Beer Can Improve Your Memory
As we get older, our memories deceive us. In my case, it happens far too often. According to research, one of the benefits of drinking beer is that you are far less likely to suffer from memory loss, such as Dementia in later years.
While drinking beer is obviously great in moderation, these benefits will not occur if you drink five pints every night. In fact, it will be likely to cause far more damage than good. However, with the news that beer – the cheapest, ‘most for your money’ beverage is in fact oozing with health benefits, it does cause for a good excuse for a celebratory drink. As you read this, I will be saying ‘cheers’ with my pint. Happy, responsible, healthy drinking, y’all.
