Drink Beer for Health Benefits?

There are not many people that need an excuse to drink beer….right? In moderation, alcohol can be beneficial. It can improve cardiac health, as well as provide relaxation at the end of a long work day.

Unlike wine, beer does not have resverartol, but dark beers do have powerful antioxidants. Also, the hops found in beer can enhance fat burning by stimulating fat oxidation and limiting the amount of fat the intestines absorb.

Hops also act as anti-inflammatory agents, keeping your body healthier and speeding up recovery from intense workouts.

There is research that shows more benefits from drinking beer. In a recent study (published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture) silicon levels were measured in a variety of beers. It was found that most beers contain high amounts of silicon, due to the hops and grain that is used in the brewing process.

Silicon is a mineral that is very important for bone and joint health. With these benefits, beer can potentially play a role in the longevity and health of your exercise program.

I am not suggesting you go out and drink every beer in sight, as this could have a negative effect on your physique and exercise program (another day, another article).

Try drinking beer in moderation to speed up recovery, stimulate fat loss and strengthen bones.
