Drinking Beer
FoAmS with benEfits
By Ryan Myson Having the opportunity to participate in our Chilly Moose Ultimate Summer Craft Cooler project, I wanted to research the benefits of drinking beer. So, I grabbed my laptop and started down the rabbit hole known as the interested to see what I could find on the subject, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Please keep in mind when reading this that Spotlight on Business is not a medical journal so taking medical advice from us would not be recommended if you are suffering from any of these ailments.

So here we go with the Benefits of Drinking Beer: Drinking beer can lower your bad cho- lesterol! The fibre found in beer can also help reduce your levels of LDL cholesterol, i.e. the “bad” type of cho- lesterol. Drinking beer can help prevent blood clots! Ingredients found in beer help prevent blood clots from forming. Drinking beer can also increase your vi- tamin B levels! Beer contains several B vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and B12). Re - search has shown that beer drinkers had 30 percent higher levels of vitamin B6 than non-beer drinkers. Beer also has a generous source of vitamin B12. Drinking beer can help build stronger bones and healthier hair! Beer con- tains silicon, vitamin B, and bioactive Polyphenols — all of which have been
linked to essential bone growth and contribute to higher bone density, plus add volume to hair and make it thicker. Drinking beer is also a cure for insom- nia! Add your own joke here, but it has put me to sleep a time or two. If I was lucky enough to get to the bed and not the sofa. However, all jokes aside, lac- toflavin and nicotinic acid can promote sleep; you guessed it, they are found in beer. Drinking beer can help you fight stress! Researchers from the Univer- sity of Montreal found that two glasses of beer a day can reduce work-related stress or anxiety, especially when you are not drinking with co-workers. Drinking beer will keep your kidneys healthy! Studies have discovered that beer is good for your kidneys. In fact, each bottle of beer you consume re- duces the risk of developing kidney
stones by 40%. Plus, it keeps you running to the bathroom, which can be considered exercise, which we all know is good for you. Some may disagree however, drink- ing beer can help boost your mem- ory! Beer drinkers are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia than non-beer drinkers. I can also guarantee your friends will remember when it is time for you to buy the next round that is for sure! Drinking beer can reduce your risk of a heart attack! Beer drinkers have a 40 to 60 percent reduced risk of suffer - ing a heart attack compared with non- beer drinkers. I guess they have not seen my bar bill from a night out on the town. It has made my heart skip a beat or two on occasion, but like they say eating and drinking healthy does cost more!
