Facts and drinking beer. ..

Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by
the saccharification of starch and
fermentation of the resulting sugar. The
starch and saccharification enzymes are
often derived from malted cereal grains,
most commonly malted barley and malted
wheat
Overtime, sentiments have trailed the
analysis that comes with whether beer is
good or bad. However, it is a known fact
that beer has been in existence nearly as
long as man has been on planet earth.
Beer as it is, includes a component of
barley, malt, yeast for brewing and it is rich
in the Calcium, magnesium, Sodium,
phosphorous, Niacin and many more
nutrients good for the health. Other
research studies found out that
improvements in moderate beer
consumption causes increased mental
health for women, improvement in the
density of the bone. Infact, moderate
drinkers tend to have a healthy option
especially when a bottle per day is strictly
adhered to. This can result in the lowering
of the risk of cardiovascular diseases such
as a heart problem and many more.
Should you increase the intake of beer
because of these benefits?? The answer is
NO. Excessive intake of beer affects the
liver, heart and brain. The liver is the organ
responsible for processing of alcohol in
your body. When there is too much in your
system, the liver will not be able to meet up
with digestion and hence it quickly reaches
your brain to cause conditions such as
intoxication when it distorts the brain
centers responsible for judgement, vision
and speech.
The advantages of taking beer really has
nothing to do with Alcohol, but because
most beers contain much alcohol, it is
usually safer to choose beers with lesser
quantities of alcohol and take them in
moderate quantities such as a beer per
day.
You would have noticed that some people
do not get intoxicated even after taking 3 –
5 bottles. That does not mean it is okay,
Scientific evidence has shown that while
drinking a bottle of beer per day may
improve your health, drinking too much will
have a negative effect on your body.
Heavy drinking or being an Alcoholic for
men is more than 35 bottles per week and
21 bottles of beer for women. Too much
drinking of beer leads to cardiovascular or
heart disease, damage to the liver,
osteoporosis or Arthritis, pancreatic
damage and deficiency to thiamin and mild
cancer. However, expectant or pregnant
women, people suffering from drug
additions or alcoholics, young people (in
most countries of the world, the drinking
age is 21), liver or heart disease patients,
diabetic and hypertensive patients SHOULD
NOT be seen near beer at all.
So you can see how very beneficial and the
other way round the consumption of beer
can be? Moderation is key!
