Beer is Healthy!

From reading the ‘Be Healthy – Health works’ February newsletter, I came across an interesting, eye-catching, article, Beer benefits by Bill Owen. It explains that while wine gets praise in the health industries for actually being healthy for you (in moderation, one glass a day), studies have also found that beer can have a healthy affect on your heart.

It is the ingredients in the beer that are good for you. The article shows that drinking one beer a day keeps the cardiologist away. Folate and the constituents found in beer together, reduce homocysteine in the blood, lower cholesterol and reduce blood clotting and one beer per day has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease. They emphasise that drinking more than that, and heavy drinking is still bad for you.

They also busted the myth that low-carbohydrate beer is better for you, as all beers are low in carbohydrate and contain much less than a regular soft drink. In conclusion, Bill Owen expresses that just like wine, beer has also been found to be healthy for you if only consumed once a day.

Do you experience joint aches, pains and red skin rash?

You may experience a fever, fatigue, hair loss, mouth ulcers and dry eyes. These symptoms are common in most illnesses yet many people are unaware that it is difficult for a doctor to diagnose certain sicknesses on their patients sometimes without doing further tests.

Things aren’t always as they seem, as the link shows, ( http://www.arthritisvic.org.au/conditions-and-symptoms/Lupus ), Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE) is “notoriously difficult to diagnose”.

Although lifestyle factors play a major role in keeping healthy and free from disease, everyone should get regular health check ups, because sometimes it wont be just an average cold.

SLE is almost unrecognisable and there is no known cure, however it can be managed. This article is extremely helpful as it gives readers an understanding that sometimes disorders and illness can be hidden, even when you look and feel healthy.
