Beer - A Good Drink to Women's Health

It's always called liquid “” because it's based on some basic components (water, cereal and yeast). Beer is not only a drink valued by half of Italians (in the survey conducted by BVA Doxa for the Association Information Centre), but it can also be considered a meal because it stems from basic foods such as cereals and water, providing useful substances from a dynamic and nutritious perspective to have a positive role in the health of the body if consumed on average.

What does it contain?

The balance between the reasonable dose of ethanol and other nutrients is the dominant character of beer: alcohol content and a pale beer, the most common, in fact, is between 4.5% and 5%. The rest is water in which minerals, vitamins, and small amounts of other nutrients are digested, useful to the body such as amino acids and antioxidants.

A rich drink/food with valuable health properties

It may be considered a monstrous meal. It's rich in Inulin, a special tributary fiber in the water from barley and fruktoligosharides (FOS), beta-gluan that always flows from barley, the main component of beer. These nutrients present in the beer solution do not thrive from enzymes in the digestive tract and are not absorbed by gastrointinal mucosa, reaching the intestine. They are metabolized in preferential ways by Bifidobacteria, thus contributing to the development and maintenance of useful endogens (Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) as their carbon source.

This state of intestines limits the presence and growth of pathogenic and harmful bacteria, such as Clostridia, Escheria Coli, and helps combat water storage. The water used to produce beer is a good source of mineral salts, especially potassium (70 mg at 0.20 l), which helps to balance the amount of sodium present on the diet and thus helps to prevent water supply, which is very frequent in women.

Beer is a friend of the bones. 0.20l beer contains almost 70 mg silic, about 20% of the recommended daily dose. This mineral is able to make bones stronger, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. And the beer is found in a form easily assimilated by the bones and thus increases its form and strength.

It contains anti-aging antioxidants. In particular, polyphenole and xantumol with valuable antioxidating powers.

It helps the beauty of skin, nails, and hair. Moreover, in beer glass, there are small amounts of nutrients and other substances that science recognizes as health protection. Malt, hops, and Maya are a source of cheap amino acids, minerals and vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B9, B12, and niacin) also useful to skin health, nails, and hair.

How many beer can you drink in one day?

Beer is among the drinks that contain less alcohol. An average consumption of 2/3 cups (250 cc) is considered moderate, but the dosage may vary depending on age, sex, construction, and health conditions. 0.20 light beer by average force (4.5%) corresponds to about half of the alcoholic unit and contains 40% less alcohol than a glass of 0.125 l.

It is not recommended to be consumed during pregnancy (the effects of alcohol, even moderate doses, in cells and fetus tissues can cause brain abnormalities). It is also suggested that you abstain from drinking all kinds of alcoholic beverages and even from low beer before driving. Reactions to alcohol consumption may actually vary greatly according to each individual's psychophysic conditions. However, the law determines the maximum limit for alcohol in the driver's blood at five grams per litre.

Of course not, even if you are not an adult. Teenagers are the most vulnerable consumers, since they have neither the ability to metabolize alcohol completely nor the maturity sufficient to manage an alcoholic drink responsibly.
