    Cheers! Drinking a pint of beer a day 'is good for your health'

    London, Jan 14 (ANI): Doctors have suggested that drinking up to a pint of beer a day is good for the health and can reduce the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure.

    They claimed that moderate consumption could even help people lose weight if combined with a healthy diet.

    Doctors Ramon Estruch and Rosa Lamuela tested 1,249 men and women over 57 years old.

    Those who accompanied a Mediterranean diet with up to a pint of beer 'not only did not put on weight, but in some cases even lost weight'.

    The doctors found beer provides the same health benefits attributed to moderate consumption of wine.

    "In this study we banish myths. We know that beer is not to blame for obesity," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Lamuela as saying.

    Beer contains folic acid, vitamins, iron and calcium, which the study claims provide a 'protective' effect on the cardiovascular system.

    The subjects who regularly drank moderate amounts of beer were less likely to suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure, and had a lower body fat content.

    The researchers from Barcelona and Madrid suggested women should drink two small glasses of beer a day while men should drink three, combined with a healthy diet and exercise. (ANI)

      The 34 years of left rule has come to an end by a lady(Mamata Banerjee) who captured the minds of general people by her undomitable will and mass contact. Congratulation and hope for better governace,peace & tranquility and overall development of the state.We are anxiously waiting for the fulfillment of her promises which were given during her Election campaign.

      whisky, wine , beer are always bad for the health. this is conspirous of western countries to spoil indian culture and people. but there are many foolish indians who think until and unless they wil not drink beer ,whisky they will be not called a macho man, but actualy they are real impotent.
      it always effect the body.
      I FEEL THAT BEER COMPANY HAS GIVEN CRORES OF RUPEES TO DOCTOR FOR SAYING THIS FOOLISH WORD BECAUSE THEY KNEW COMMON PEOPLE WILL NOT NEGLECT DOCTORS VIEWS

        Its not about culture and countries Dear HemanthSC, few people like to live life for their self & other live for others.. Taking the culture & Countries into this topic is a foolishness.. This is our Earth, I dont know why people keep fighting & blaming on human made boundaries & border lines...

        Can you comment about Madiraapaaan of Devta in mythology books & history stories those are only in India..

        Yaar stop making such nuisanc thing like my India, my Pakistan, my Bangladesh, my America.. this wil yield nothing.. Its our Planet.. lean to live like humans than animals..

        and hey all, listen.. drinking beer effects or not I don't know but I do know Making Beer costs alot of useful drinking water, as Cold Drink companies, Wine companies, Beer companies & Juice companies do use alot of water in such stupid things which is causing lack of Drinking water and irrigation farms making green effect a big reason of todays concern..

        be Human, stay with all without boundaries..

      dear friends, i being a doctor have suggested in few patients to consume beer who have the habit earlier in case of treating renal calculi ( kidney and ureter stones) the reason behind this is if beer taken in prescribed quantity it helps u to flush out urine twice the amount out. hence new stones and few obstructed stone in the passage get flushes out. hence drinking beer in prescribed quantity helps few cases. i have got good and fast results in patients consuming beer in calculus. the idea behind this is beer is having prepared by barley and also when alcohol between 5-10% makes speed spread of property in beer and thus puts renal function active for few hours. only thing is that the dosage has to be correct and according to body constitution. further doubts can be asked through mailing me....

      yeah, Its a good news. Is there any drink which can clear blockages of arteries? I need it badly.
    • Dr.mayur  •  1 year 4 months ago
      Research was done in UK but we cant expect same for Indian population as genomic and weather deffer from that so be aware before consume anything... Its a good only preventive expect but who suffer from Diabetes or Hypertension must have to be careful to consume beer because it have diuretic property which may interrupt in your dose of Ca channel blocker or ACE inhibitor or any kind of Anti diabetic medicine......which may lead it uncontrolled. So before you go through it must consult your physician,

    • Sheeba  •  1 year 4 months ago
      Nowadays there is a fashion ,, before going a long trip either by two wheeler or car with ''friends'' the tourist take much alcohol including the driver, this cause accidents and more over up to deaths. pls save your family members and help a poor with one time meal or dinner instead of spending money for a bottle of beer around Rs 70 to 75/= , then see you will be heathy by the grace of GOD.

      there are people who are saying that beer if consume in a moderate amount is good. i want to tell that every drinker start from a moderate amount then he takes a peg and then he takes a whole bottle, so why dont we cut the root from bottom. there is a question mark on theories of doctor in todays world where any thing can be done on the basis of money

    • Mr. Kotwal  •  1 year 4 months ago
      At first, Drinking a pint of beer a day 'is good. But as long as you continue drinking a pint a day, the amount will increase on a daily basis. Then you will become a drunkard. Guys, every drunkard starts from a pint. Avoid alcoholic drinks. Save yourself and your family.
    • Siva kumar  •  1 year 4 months ago
      you @#$%,consumption of all liquors (beer,wine, or etc) all are dangerous to ur health. this research is fake. these stupid Dr has lied and he wanna make some not lot money. plllllllllll guys,youths dont believe this message as good for your health and Ur wealth.the truth is alcohol consumption is dangerous to your health.that quantity is whatever pint or full bottle it is very very dangerous to Ur health. and Mr NIDHI it would never act as vasodilator and its have very lesser anti oxidant properties, compare to this anti oxidant more toxic materials are added in this wine or beer.guys dont believe these @#$% messages. these want to misguide you.Beer never contains folic acid, vitamins, iron and calcium, none of the liquors can provide a 'protective' effect on the cardiovascular system.

      The subjects who regularly drank moderate amounts of beer were more and more likely to suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure.
      SO PLEASE FRIENDS, KIDS,YOUTHS, GENTLE MENS DON'T TAKE THIS MESSAGE AS GOOD. THIS WRONG MESSAGE. I AM A DOCTOR.
