New Study Confirms Beer Drinkers Age Slower

February 9, 2006 By Jay Brooks

A new study conducted at a teaching hospital in the town of Plzen (Pilsen), west Bohemia (in the Czech Republic) “revealed that the moderate consumption of beer slows aging and reduces the likelihood of heart attacks and arteriosclerosis.” Close to one hundred middle-aged men were studied over the course of three months. They were given specific amounts of free beer and then the health effects monitored throughout the three-month period. At the end of the experiment, “the men’s levels of dangerous blood lipids were lower,” says Jaroslav Racek, head of the research team.

As reported in the Prague Daily Monitor, the doctors’ findings were released today:

The amount of beneficial cholesterol in the men’s blood was increased, the beer improved their organism’s antioxidant protection and reduced the amount of free radicals that can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and age-related diseases.

I’m feeling healthier already just reading the news today.

    The articles on this page has confirmed what I had always believed-that drinking beer is healthy
    in more than one way. Besides relaxing your mind it also provides vital anti-oxidents,minerals,vitamins
    and may be protenes! I am a beer drinker for last 20 years and have never put on any weight.
    Please provide details of danger of overdrinking beer and remedies to reduce damages and hangover, which I usually get after 6 bottles (650 ml each)of light beer (less than 5% alcohole) drinking.
    I simply love this portal. Thank you to help me get over guilty feeling now!
