Go on and crack open a chilled bottle of beer. You earn yourself a reward after a long tiring day. Whether it's a light lager, a citrusy IPA, or some award-winning beers, here are a few reasons to feel good about drink beer day.
1. Makes you happier
You may not need science to verify this, but beer will make you happier. As per one new analysis, a chemical in beer acts to activate happy emotions in your brain. This is not only a mere hypothesis, but practical researches have also confirmed that.
2. Increases your self-esteem
The researchers have found that beer drinkers reported a large improvement in their self-esteem. Here it is not implying that you should rely on alcohol you fix all your mental health issues, but in this case, beer will definitely make you feel better.
3. Helps to keep the brain sharp.
According to some reports, beer can help decrease the chance
of Alzheimer's and dementia occurring. Drinking beer can help to flush harmful
compounds out of your brain.
4. Contains nutrients
Beer contains calories that may contain B vitamins, folate,
selenium, and potassium, based on the type. Selenium and folate are very rare,
and many people are deficient in these nutrients. In reality, beer may help
prevent some sort of deficiency. For instance, some beer contains more fiber
and folate than most beers. On the other side, most light beers don't have any.
However, beers still doesn’t come with nutrition labeling, so it is difficult
to know details. But take heart in the fact that your favorite brew gives you
some nutritional benefits.
5. Reduce the risk of heart disease.
Heavy drinking has long been linked with an increased incidence of blood pressure and heart issues. However, as per a 2003 study, a reduced risk of arteriosclerosis, which is a risk factor for heart disease, was associated with consuming small quantities of alcohol.
6. Good for your cholesterol
A research done by the American Heart Association found that
moderate drinkers generally had slower reductions in good cholesterol than
those who don’t. For better health, a slower decline in cholesterol is a
positive thing. Just don't mix your beer with too much junk food as all that
salt and grease is not necessarily cholesterol-friendly.
7. Decreases the chance of kidney stones.
According to a study conducted in Finland, beer can prevent people from having kidney stones. For every additional bottle of beer consumed every day, their findings showed a 40 percent decline in risk.
8. Good for your bones
Beer does not contain calcium that can be supplied by milk,
but it does help maintain strong bones. Orthosilicic acid can help lower your
risk of developing osteoporosis, and in most beers, orthosilicic acid is
present. But if avoiding broken bones is your prerogative, you could be better
off enjoying a bottle of milk, based on the number of injuries sustained caused
due to alcohol consumption.
9. Contain antioxidants
Who knew beer also has cancer-fighting compounds.
Prenylated flavonoids, a type of antioxidant known to have different
disease-fighting properties, are found in the hops that are used to brew most
beers. Some research demonstrates that hops can help alleviate harmful
inflammation.
