Health Benefits of Beer

For years we have heard about wine taking up all the credits for being the healthy alcohol but a new study revealed that wine may not be the only one.
Beer too has emerged as a healthy alcoholic drink to opt for. This new study suggested some unexpected health benefits of beer.
While you can now drink your beer and lose the guilt, you should remember the rule of moderation as binge drinking still has its ill effects.
trengthens bones
Drinking may be known to weaken the bones but a study suggested that drinking two beers a day can actually increase bone density. This bone health was linked to the high levels of silicon present in beer. However the same study also suggested that drinking more than two beers a day was linked to increased risk for fractures.
Heart health
A number of studies have stated the benefits of beer on heart health. One such study reported that a beer or two a day helps raise HDL levels which is also known as the good cholesterol that keeps the arteries from getting clogged.
