Beer is one of the most common alcoholic beverages. In addition, advertising tabloids assure us that beer is not a harmful drink, but on the contrary - it is very healthy. Beer is a friend or beer is an enemy? First, let's define what beer is!
Beer Drink
Beer is a drink made from natural raw materials and containing alcohol. It consists of a large number of connections. Namely: about four and a half percent - carbohydrates dissolved in H20, up to one percent of nitrogen-containing compounds and from 7 to 12 percent of ethyl alcohol. In addition to the compounds, the composition of beer includes yeast, rich in B vitamins, as well as many microelements and amino acids. The effect of beer on the body of men is determined by the dosage.
Let's start with the good news:
First, from an overdose of beer still no one died, which can not be said about a truly Russian drink - vodka. Poison this drink, too, will not work, because the lethal dose of beer will never fit in the stomach. Proceeding from this, it follows that beer is safer than any other alcohol-containing beverage.
Secondly, "beer belly" - this is not the result of drinking beer. Beer contains fewer calories than in juices or milk. It is unlikely that someone a day drinks one two liters of milk, but beer fans can easily drink 2 liters daily. Besides, very few people drink beer without accompaniment of "snacks", what kind of enjoyment is a frothy drink without a salty fish? Or without a shish kebab? Chips, hard and smoked cheese, crackers, grilled chicken, sausages, sausages - these are the main culprits for the formation of the "beer belly". It is these high-calorie foods that are consumed in an immeasurable quantity with beer.
As we have already said, beer is rich in B vitamins, and PP vitamins. These groups of vitamins are responsible in our body for the multiplication of energy processes, also improve the metabolism and work of the heart, increase the mass of blood cells of blood. In addition to vitamins, micronutrients are also found in beer, such as iron, magnesium, copper, potassium and phosphorus. A large set of amino acids, and in a foamy drink of twenty, makes beer almost an exceptional product. Unfiltered beer is certainly more useful due to the fact that it is not heated during pasteurization. This makes it possible to preserve all the initial useful substances easily assimilated by the male organism.
Probably, the women of the world already know the beneficial properties of beer that has not been filtered. It is extremely beneficial for the skin and hair. Foam drink increases the ability of cell regeneration, restores skin elasticity, rejuvenates it. In addition, beer perfectly helps in the "war" with inflammation and acne.
For cosmetic purposes, a foamy drink is used in masks that have a beneficial effect on the hair and face. For the skin of the body, beer wraps and rubbing are useful. A mask consisting of eggs, honey and beer helps to get rid of the fat gloss of the face and smooths the skin. Beer serves as the basis of some creams that rejuvenate the skin, tighten it, and improve the structure.
In the bathhouse you can also benefit from beer. A pair of foam drink helps to treat laryngitis and protracted cough. Increases the working capacity of the bronchi.
A great cocktail of honey, cloves and hot beer can cure a cold and cough. The bitterness in beer helps digestion and stimulates the production of bile.
Beer can be an excellent assistant in the prevention of serious diseases like atherosclerosis, tuberculosis and in such a terrible disease as cancer, because it contains antioxidants.
All its useful and medicinal properties beer can lose in the event that the dose of its use is exceeded. Those people who constantly drink beer in large quantities, imperceptibly for themselves become "beer alcoholics". Do not console yourself that beer is not vodka. Beer alcoholism is no different from alcoholism. The only difference is that it starts with a simple "beer mug". Often beer alcoholism begins with a non-alcoholic beer, which then goes to a strong alcoholic beer.
What is the effect of beer on the male body?
As we said above, beer loses its usefulness in the case when its immense use begins. The fine line dividing benefit and harm is a dose that a man drinks. What is the harm of excessive consumption of beer?
First, regular consumption in large quantities of beer - reduces the production of testosterone - the male sex hormone. Estrogen - a female sex hormone, on the contrary, increases in the male organism, therefore the figure of the strong half of humanity gradually becomes similar to the female one. Fat is deposited on the hips, breast, on the buttocks and in the abdomen. These are external signs that the male body contains a large amount of estrogen. Internal - a gradual loss of "male power". Weak erection and the formation of impotence.
Secondly, beer expands blood vessels. The result can be varicose veins and hypertension.
Thirdly, if a man has chronic kidney disease, then beer enhances the disease. It promotes an increase in urination, thereby overloading the diseased organs.
Fourth, beer can cause pancreatitis or diabetes. Equally, the liver suffers from beer.
Special harm large doses of beer have on the heart. Doctors call this state a "beer heart". Blood easily absorbs beer from the intestine. Foam drink fills the bloodstream, expands blood vessels and makes the heart work quickly. The constant "training" of the heart increases its volume, the aorta and arteries expand, the heart wall is depleted and a fat capsule is formed around it - all this entails serious diseases.
How much can you drink beer, so as not to harm yourself?
Modern scientists have determined the safe amount of beer that a man can drink. One gram of alcohol per kilogram of body weight. And of course, you can not drink beer every day. Beer alcoholism will negate all the useful qualities of this drink.
