Wanna be healthy? Drink beer!
Read Time:51 Second
Once upon a time beer was my favorite beverage, and from time to time it still is, but after reading this story I think I just may go back to hoisting a serious glass of fun. Enjoy:
Beer lovers, rejoice: ale or lager in moderation is good for you, a new study suggests. It offers folic acid, calcium, vitamins, and iron, and its benefits match those of wine, the Daily Telegraph reports. The study of 1,249 men and women older than 57 found that those who drank beer regularly and moderately—think small glass instead of a pint—had a lower risk of diabetes and high blood pressure.
They also boasted lower body fat. And those pairing their beer regime with a Mediterranean diet “not only did not put on weight, but in some cases even lost weight,” said a researcher. So what’s the story with beer bellies? At least in Britain, those come from drinking “large quantities, almost without moving from one spot, while eating chips and sausages.”

“…its benefits match those of wine…”
I’ll stick to the wine, thanks much. One glass–okay, maybe two–a day. 🙂
Well that proves it, I’m healthy.
LOL! Me too 🙂
