Healthy Beer  

That's very interesting. It's the same way with soda. A long time ago, soda was infused with all kinds of minerals and medicines, and was supposed to be a tonic for your health. Now soda is just full of sugar and chemicals that are horrible for us. I make a real ginger ale at home that's actually quite healthy.

Interesting facts. American beer doesn't taste very good. People probably drink it just to get drunk and act silly - not for the taste.
It's rumored in the USA that Germany has very good beer and that Germans drink with every meal - even breakfast.

This is an interesting topic, and it doesn't surprise me that the beer has changed for the worst. Those companies are greedy. I had to chance to go to England and Germany, and their beer tastes heavenly, I like the really dark beer like Murphy's Irish Stout for instance, and it's so different from the U.S. beer which tastes like piss (pardon me). I don't drink American beer, it just isn't the same.

Part of a Healthy Diet

Drinking one beer per day may be good for your health because it has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Why? Some experts suggest these reasons:The folate found in beer may help to reduce homocysteine in the blood and lower homocysteine levels mean a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Lab studies have found constituents in beer that lower triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in mice.
Drinking one beer per day reduces blood clotting so some studies found that cardiovascular patients who drank one beer per day also lived longer.

Other studies have found that women who consume one beer each day have improved mental health. Drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages in moderation may also improve bone density.

Of course that doesn't mean that if one beer is good, three or four must be better. That isn't true. Drinking more than one beer or any alcoholic beverage per day can put too much alcohol in your system and that isn't good for you. Heavy drinking has been associated with several health problems, so moderation is definitely the key with drinking beer. The studies also point to one beer per day as being beneficial, not drinking all seven beers in one day per week. That type of binge drinking will overload you system with alcohol too.

The benefits of beer nutrition probably have nothing to do with the alcohol and there are some low-alcohol beers and non-alcohol beers available which offer the same heart-protective effect as regular and light beers.

Beer is actually a good source of folate, niacin, magnesium, potassium and niacin.

I believe that mead was the old English version of beer and I don't know about before Tudor times but in Tudor times it was often drunk for breakfast. Obviously in those days it wouldn't have had any chemicals in it and I don't know if old fashioned mead nowadays is like the original thing. In those times though it was probably a safer option than drinking the water.

That seems interesting. I always know that the beer is healthy and can improve the .. what was it? OK, just to say, that it is healthy. So drinking 2 beers per day is excellent for me.

Beer is good for health but it depend if you enjoy other wise its vice versa for for some people

I don't know if I will ever get to like beer. I don't like the smell, I don't like the taste. I always wonder why others say beer tastes good. It's not my thing. I've smelled and seen lots of beer having been to belgium's beer festival several years ago. The best tasting beer is still not good enough for me. sorry

Thank you so much. That is very informative and educational for everyone and especially for beer drinkers. I used to drink beer , every evening before dinner, but have now stopped. Just like you were saying, I feel drinking beer is unhealthy and could lead to different kinds of health problems.
Thank you very much again !
