What are the health benefits of beer; or, more specifically, are drinking DIPAs good for your health? Of course, they are nourishing, wholesome, nutritious, and good for your health as well as many other things such as teasing your brain with Factoids and Trivia, enjoying reading Quotations from recognizable figures within our culture, traveling to new places such as Brewpubs, studying Art, and laughing at Jokes. “The strongest evidence suggests alcohol of any kind can increase good cholesterol,” says Harvard researcher Eric Rimm. The ingredients used to make DIPAs provide a rich source of nutrients; therefore DIPAs may contain traceable amounts of nutrients, including: magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, chromium and B vitamins.
When we peruse Factoids and Trivia, not only are we improving memory and empathy, but research has shown that it makes us feel better and more positive. Science has shown that reading has some amazing health benefits, including helping with depression, cutting stress, and reducing the chances of developing Alzheimer’s later in life.
Here’s a good Quotation: Thomas Jefferson. Who? The third U.S. President believed: “Beer, if drunk in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.”
Not only did the Philadelphia Eagles capture Super Bowl LII, Philly was recently named one of the 14 best beer cities on the globe by Frommer’s, Philadelphia is home to dozens of craft breweries and brew pubs. Pairing beer with food is in the DNA of brewpubs, and they have additional advantages in their ability to create DIPAs with specific pairings in mind, use special ingredients like spent grains to enhance the pairing experience, and more easily integrate DIPAs throughout the menu development and cooking process.
By visiting new brewpubs regularly, you help to support good mental health and reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s in later life. One might say that the craft brew pubs across the nation recognize the many health benefits of beer, and are contributing to the longevity of the American public.
Sure, it’s fun to share a good laugh. But did you know it can improve your health? Jokes draw people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body.

Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

A discussion of some of the health benefits of beer is given below:
HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEER
- Boosting Brain Health
Researchers found that having one beer per day may keep Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia at bay. The research also showed that in comparison to those who didn’t drink beer on a daily basis compared to those who did lowered their risk of mental decline by 20 percent. This may be due to silicon content in beer that protects the brain from aluminum effects which can be really harmful.

- Healthier Kidneys
Beer is known to reduce risk of kidney stones by incredible 40%. Further, the fact beer contains up to 93% water helps flush toxins out of your body and keep kidneys working properly.
- Lowers Heart Disease Risk
Believe it or not, research has shown that moderate consumption of beer can lower the risk of heart disease by 20% to 40%. Beer also has great anti-clotting effect which contributes to keeping blood vessels clean, healthy, and free. Those who consumed one beer per day appeared to have lower levels of fibrinogen.
- Stronger Bones
Owing to its high silicon content, beer may be good for bone health. Silicon is found to improve bone strength and increase bone mineral density. Still, overconsumption of beer will weaken the bones while increasing the risk of bone fractures. So, when drinking it, be mindful of these side effects and drink it in moderation.
- Lowering Cancer Risk
Being high in antioxidants and flavanoids (particularly dark beers), beer is great in lowering the risk of cancer, especially prostate cancer for men. Further, beer contains xanthohumol which is a powerful antioxidant known to have anti-cancer properties.
- Lowering Risk of Diabetes
The alcohol contained in beer increases insulin sensitivity for which reason you get protected against diseases like diabetes. Still, drinking in moderation is advisable.
- Guarding Against Stroke
Blood clots that tend to form can cause ischemic stroke and many other life-threatening diseases or conditions. This occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked. Nevertheless, the arteries become flexible and blood flow improves significantly when you (regularly, in moderation) drink some beer.
- Acts as a Multivitamin
It is hard to believe that an alcoholic drink can be a source of vitamins! Still, it doesn’t get better than this. Apart from being rich in vitamin B (particularly homebrew), it is richest in Niacin which is also known as vitamin B3. Other than these, beer contains vitamins such as Choline, Flavonoids, Pantothenic Acid, other B vitamins and vitamin B6.
- Clears skin and helps hair growth
All the vitamins in beer are really good for acne reduction and increasing natural skin shine. Further, beer acts as a great hair growth stimulator. The contents of hops and malt in beer make hair healthier and act as an exceptional ingredient for hair growth. When you rinse your hair with beer and wash it off after few minutes, it gives a shine to the hair. Some hairstylists claim it too helps with damaged hair. The only problem is that beer has a strong beer smell.
- Rich in fiber content
Our body needs fibers, sugar and starches to function properly. Beer has all three. Even though fibers can be pretty hard/slow in digestion they stimulate the intestinal peristalsis. Beer is a drink which provides fiber content to our body when consumed.
