Science says beer is good for you

‘If you analysed beer you would  be amazed at how many super-nutrients there are in it,’ says Dr Stephan Domenig, medical director of The Original F.X. Mayr Health Centre in Austria.The stuff is high in vitamins, calcium and amino acids, low in sugar compared with fizzy soft drinks and research suggests it can even help prevent Alzheimer’s, which doesn’t explain why it’s so hard to remember the night before after a few pints of the stuff, but sounds pretty good anyway.Mila Kunis has said that her favourite drink is Blue Moon beer and Elle “The Body” Macpherson even washes her hair with it.‘The hops in beer contain silica which adds lustre, increases volume and fortifies the hair from within,’ says Janey Lee Grace, author of Look Great Naturally… Without Ditching The Lipstick.Catherine Zeta Jones has admitted using the magical golden liquid as conditioner, saying: ‘I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards but it’s very good for the hair.’Who are we to argue?Studies have also suggested that moderate beer drinking can help prevent diabetes and heart disease. A further study of almost 2,000 regular drinkers by the University of London even concluded that moderate intake isn’t likely to lead to excessive weight gain. Beer gut, schmeer gut.In yet more good news, the hops found in beer are said to have aphrodisiac-like qualities. Bottoms up.(metro.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
