10 Health Benefits of Drinking Beer
Drink up your beer, it’s healthy! Beer drinking can be good for you as long as you don’t drink too much.
In moderation, beer has many health benefits:
- Up to two beers a day for men (women should only have one), will help to reduce your risk of having strokes, and heart disease. Light drinking appears to reduce the risk by as much as 20% according to research in United States.
- Beer can help to increase the level of HDL (beneficial cholesterol) in the body and decrease the likelihood of blood clots.
- A couple of beers can raise the level of anti-oxidants in the blood stream. This enables the cells to carry more oxygen around the body. More oxygen helps better muscle activity among other things.
- Beer contains vitamin B6 which is needed to make haemoglobin, the red coloring in blood. This carries oxygen around the body. It also helps maintain correct blood sugar levels.
- It is fat free, aids restful sleep and promotes relaxation.
- Beer contains vitamins B and B2 (as well as B6) and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.
- Dark beer is better for you than light. It contains more flavanoids which are natural oxidants that help to protect the body from disease.
- For post menopausal women, beer may be a beneficial addition to the diet. Some hop flavanoids have properties like oestrogen and research suggests that this property may make it possible to produce a natural form of HRT to replace the current one.
- Beer can help to reduce blood pressure and levels of insulin in the blood.
- Beer drinking can also reduce the incidence of kidney stones. This may be due to the water, the hops, or the alcohol, but, whatever the reason, it seems to help.
Too much beer can make you fat, and cause a number of other health problems. Like all good things, beer should be consumed responsibly.
Enjoy!

A very good and informative article! You certainly did your homework with this one. I didn’t know that beer helped raise the good cholesterol nor did I know it lowered insulin and blood pressure.
This is very helpful. I am sending this link out in my email, I want everyone to know.
Thanks for the great information.

i’ve had a blood clot and I was taking blood thinnin medication.
I wasn’t supposed to be drinking at the time I was taking the medicine. But to find out beer lessens your chance of getting another blood clot, i was actually doing myself good instead of bad.

It is really good to drink beer daily. It help us to have a healty liver and eyesight. Even u can avoid all the Back Pain, and Joint Pains. I have been taking beer for the past 20 years and it really helped me even to avoid a major Surgery when I met with a Car accident.

I recently purchased a bp monitor and have been checking myself a couple of times a day.
Originaly from the UK I’ve been a social beer drinker for years with a habit of making a bit of a pig of myself.
Drinking a pitcher of beer and 2 draughts my blood pressure goes down by 40 points! Go figure.

How much beer is two beers? If I drink two cans of beer a day it amounts to 340×2 = 680mL. If I drink two pint’s a day, it would amount to 946mL. However, if I live in say Germany and would drink two maβ as a day, it would amount to 2L which is more than 4 pints and more than 5.8 cans of beer. I therefore conclude that the healty amount of beer depends on your location and not the size of the hollow object it is served in! Prosit!

Beer doesn’t necessarily increase your weight. The food you eat with beer does increase your weight. I have been drinking beer for the past year and notice that my weight shrunk but not by beer but the change of food habit e.g. decrease the amount of fried food

I love drinking beer.. but with no meat …
that’s the reason why you gain weight and belly with beer..
So drinking beer alone after 1 hr of having your food is really helpful..
I know drinking beer while having food is irresistible but that also makes you irresistible of having good health..!!!
