1. Beer prolongs life.

Researchers from Virginia Tech found that people who regularly drink beer in moderate amounts reduce their risk of dying prematurely by 19%. In addition, beer helps rejuvenate blood vessel cells by speeding up certain metabolic processes in the body, as well as having a calming and pain-relieving effect and helping to inhibit bacterial growth and reproduction.

2. Beer helps fight cancer.

This alcoholic beverage contains ingredients that help the human body fight cancer. That is the conclusion reached by medical scientists from the Japanese National Institute of Radiology. In particular, xanthochumol, a flavonoid that inhibits carcinogenic enzymes, was found in hops.

3. Beer helps the brain function properly.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that women who had one glass of beer a day were less likely to suffer from cognitive problems caused by aging.

4. Beer hops protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Although beer can't protect you from the unpleasant condition of not being able to remember what happened last night, it's generally good for memory rather than bad. Xanthochumol, one of the hop compounds, according to recent research by scientists, protects the brain from age-related degenerative changes like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

5. Beer strengthens bones.
Beer helps maintain bone density and joint elasticity due to its silicon content in an easily digestible form. Who would have thought that a glass of beer after dinner could help build denser bone tissue. That's what the authoritative scientific journal Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture claims, anyway.
