Women who drink two glasses of
wine, beer or liquor a day, facing a lower risk of obesity than women who do
not drink. Revealed to a new study of U.S. researchers from Brigham and Women's
Hospital in Boston,transmits
Pivnica.net.The study was published in the journal Archives of Internal
Medicine.
The study group consisted of
nineteen thousand American women who hadn'tproblems with weight, age 39 years or more. They asked them how many
glasses of alcohol a day they drink and followed them around thirteen years.
On glass of alcohol in the United
States contains about 14 grams of alcohol and converted it is about 1.5
deciliter of wine, 3.5 dl of beeror 43
milliliters brandy. During the thirteen years of study, the women who didn't
drank alcohol have increased their weight and the women who drank two glasses
of alcohol per day had no problems with weight. In the battle against excess
poundsthe winner is red wine, but
similar effects gave other types of alcohol.
The question is: Makes beerthicker in large quantities? Beer contains
bitter substances from hops, leading to the relaxation of the body and
stimulate the secretion of bile, as well as soothing effects on digestion.
Only beer makes notthicker, but it
causes larger intake of food into the body.Looking
at the energy content, beer hasfrom
1500 to 1800 kJ per liter, which is less than, for example apple juice.
In fact, beer is the drink that causes rapid calories, so
it is suitable as an energy supplement after physical exertion, such as after sport
activities. It improves the metabolism, it is easy digestable and itis a good source of vitamins and substances in
their natural form, whichthe body can
adapt better than artificial products.
In addition, beer is a good hydratant.
It also contains thirty different minerals and elements like carbon, calcium,
nitrogen, sodium, potassium, it is also rich of vitamin B (B1 - thiamine, B2 -
riboflavin, B6 - pyridoxine, niacin), substances from the hops stimulate the
production of bile and promote digestion, contains polyphenols that have
antioxidant and anticancer effects, it contains relatively little of
cardiovascular disease, which is confirmed by many researches.
But do not forget - Beer
contains alcohol, but too much alcoholis not good
for you.
