Yes or NO.......??

Sipmly you cant say yes or no to this.

Lets see some idetified health benefits of beer.

1.Beer can produce the same benefits as drinking wine. One drink a day for women or up to two drinks a day for men will reduce your chances of strokes, heart and vascular disease. It’s no secret that the stroke is one of the leading cause of serious, long-term disabilities.

It is said that light to moderate drinkers will decrease their chances of suffering a stroke by 20%. (But pls dnt be DRUNKEN MASTERS)

2. Also beer reduce corronery heart deceases up to 30-40% than non alcoholists. (Texas Southwestern Medical Center (May 1999))

3.Beer contain alcohol which has an atribute of increase the amount of good cholesterol (HDL) into the bloodstream as well as help to decrease blood clots.

4.Beer also contains vitamin B6. It prevents build-up of amino acid called homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease. Those of us who have high levels of homocysteine are usually more prone to an early onset of heart and vascular disease. A new study performed at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in Utrecht indicates that those who drink beer had no increase in their homocysteine level but those who drank wine or liquor had an increase of up to 10%.

5.Also noted was the fact that those who drank beer experienced a 30% increase in vitamin B6 in their blood plasma, thereby proving that beer (in moderation) is actually healthier to drink than wine and other liquor. WOW..quiet amazing no...??

Then keep these things in mind,

Then stop.... read the rest..

Drinking in excess of these guidelines has been associated with an increased risk of several serious health ailments, such as cancer, high blood pressure, and liver disease. Be warned that drinking over moderation can lead to liver damage, dangers of drunk driving, and damage to fetuses of pregnant women who are drinking…just to name a few.

Ever heard of the ‘beer belly’? In a German study, Gerard Klose said ‘dangers begin to emerge in men measuring more than 94 centimeters around the middle, and become "really risky" at a girth of 102 centimeters’. ‘Too much fat’, he said, ‘makes diabetes, certain forms of cancer and heart disease a distinct possibility’.

Typically male beer belly will also find its way into the bloodstream and in turn, raise your cholesterol levels. This leads to heart and vascular disease and strokes.

‘Beer, if drank in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit, and promotes health.’

Anyway my personel advicce is if you are not still drink alcohol, yep Better to drink never...

Open for discussion...

Is beer a FOOD?

Hmmm....yep you are correct. This is one of the most controversial topic to discuss. Anyway i will give some positive as well as negative ideas to prove both sides where you can decide weather its really a food or not.

What is food:- Food is any substance that can be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue.

So if beer a food, should supply a significant amount of carbohydrate, lipids or proteins that can be easily metabolized and convert to energy.

After fermentation beer only left trace amount of non-fermentable sugars which accounts very small in percentage. As the carbohydrates act as the biggest source of energy beer gives nothing at all.

Then beer is not a Food...???

But what about other nutrients it gives?

There are a bunch of nutrients in beer, including: folate, fibre, potassium, magnesium, vitamins B6 and B12 and there’s even some calcium in there.

hmmm....So whats your decision now? .....Still confused....

Then you must know this too,

Is beer good for you?
Lets talk about this in another post....

Please comment on this......

Food is life

As many other animals, human totally depends on external source of energy. The energy taken as different types of foods which is coming by converting solar energy by green leaves of plants. So the light energy converts to carbohydrates and then within human body, it will converts in to usable energy for growth and functions.
