Many men worry that their round figure could be formed from excessive addiction to beer. If you blame beer for your beer belly, don't jump to conclusions. Perhaps this is not the reason at all.
Studies show that a glass of beer a day alone cannot cause weight gain - it can even protect the heart and strengthen bones. Experts say there is no definitive scientific evidence that beer leads to weight gain.
Nutritionist Dr. Cathryn O'Sullivan says it's not the drink itself, but the high-calorie snacks. In fact, according to the nutritionist, beer contains fewer calories than other alcoholic beverages.
Dr. O'Sullivan believes that moderate beer consumption does not make a person fat. Of course, if you drink it in large quantities, extra centimeters at the waist cannot be avoided. However, other alcoholic drinks lead to the same results as, in fact, excess food.
A study by Dr. Henk Hendricks of the Food Research Institute of the Netherlands found that about half a liter of beer a day can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Professor Giuseppe Grosso of the University of Catania has also found that beer can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and also help hair, nails and skin look healthy and radiant thanks to its silicon content.
