Beer and its Cardio Vascular Benefits!!!!!

A medical study which examined the beer drinking habits of a group of people who had heart attacks found out that the lowest risks of heart attack was found in men who drank about 5-11 litres of beer a week. Their risks was a third of that seen in the men who never drank beer. But if they drank more, the protection was lost and problems appeared.

Dark beer seems to be especially more protective. Beer’s cardio vascular benefits are  due to polyphenols, antioxidants that are also found in fruits, tea and wine.

Researchers have found that drinking 1 beer a day alters the structure of fibrinogen, protein in the blood responsible for clotting, thus reducing risks of heart attacks and strokes.
