Health Benefits of Beer & Wine
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Benjamin Franklin
Many years ago, beer was considered a nourishing household product like bread, since it’s
based on grain. One type of beer called, doppelbock, was known as “liquid bread” by certain
monks who relied on it for sustenance during the Lenten fasts. Even back in earlier times, beer
was always the mealtime beverage for young and old alike and a good source of valuable nutrients.
Today if the standard ordinary 12 ounce bottle of beer had a “Nutrition Facts Label”, this is what it would say:
- Beer contains 150 calories
- Beer has no fat
- Beer has no cholesterol
- Beer is caffeine free
- Beer contains no nitrates
- Beer contains 1 gram of protein and 13 grams of carbohydrates
- Beer is 92 percent pure water
Beer contains very significant amounts of magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, and biotin
and Beer is packed full of the B vitamins (as anyone who has taken brewer’s yeast as a B supplement
already knows), with impressive amounts of B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxin),
and B9 (folate), with smaller amounts of B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B12 inotisol and choline.Today when you read the newspapers, you probably see a lot of stories about the health problems that
the country is facing. You see headlines of people suffering from heart attacks, cancer, and other
illnesses, but what you may not have heard of is an easy (and delicious) solution to some of these
news making problems – and that is beer.Recent findings from studies have shown that beer is actually good for your heart, just like wine!
What exactly can beer do to help your heart? Well, according to a study done by Tufts University,
the consumption of beer in moderate amounts can decrease your cholesterol level, reduce the amount
of fibrinogen in your blood (which is a protein that is responsible for blood clotting), and increase
the level of antioxidants in your body.In the 1930s, copy writer Dorothy Sayers (best known for the Lord Peter Wimsey crime novels) coined
the advertising line “Guinness is Good for You!” and the famous Irish stout was dispensed to invalids
and nursing mothers.Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of beer’s essential wholesomeness. Now, research has
documented beer’s medical benefits, but beer’s contributions to good nutrition are just as impressive,
and just as important to your overall health.The discovery–or re-discovery– that alcohol consumption might be good for you emerged in
the early 1990s in a phenomenon known as the “French paradox:” the observation that, although
the French diet is higher in fat than ours, rates of coronary disease are lower than in the United States.
