Drinking beer in moderate quantities has a very beneficial effect on both men and women. First of all, it contains beta-glucans, soluble fibers that are good for heart health, according to experts from the US National Institutes of Health, noting that black beer contains more of these fibers.
Taken in small quantities, beer also reduces the risk of blood clots, because it lowers bad (LDL) and increases the level of good (HDL) cholesterol. It is a real treasure trove of vitamins B6 and B12, as well as folate. In addition, it prevents the formation of kidney stones because it is a good diuretic.
It also affects the good quality of bones because it has enviable amounts of the mineral silicon, which is crucial for increasing their density, and which is very important in the fight against osteoporosis. Silicon is present in beer in the form of soluble orthosilicic acid, which is usable in the human body in an enviable percentage. The largest amounts of this mineral have beers that contain a large percentage of barley malt and hops, reports Novosti.
