• Good News For Beer Lovers Out There!

   

  
  

  Are you a beer lover? Can you tell the subtle distinction between different kinds of beer? Do you own a T-shirt from your favorite brewery? Well, even if you don't consider yourself necessarily a “lover” of beer, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who enjoy drinking it (with an exception of me, who still think beer equals bitter!) Regardless of how much of a beer lover you are, I bet there are those “health nuts” who despite knowing how unhealthy it can be, they simply cannot resist its taste.

  Don't worry because I've got good news for you. As I was flipping through last week's Metro NY, I found an interesting article. According to research, beer drinkers who drink it regularly (about a pint of beer) tend to have stronger bones and were less likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Researchers believe that “heavy silicon levels in beer may bolster new bone formation;” silicon is crucial in bone formation. They also said “beer has been claimed to be one of the most important sources of silicon in the Western diet.”

  Sounds too good to be true? But make sure you drink in moderation and never go overboard. You know you don't want that beer belly.

  Do you enjoy drinking beer? How much/often do you drink? If you're not into beer, would you be willing to start drinking for your health?
