Contrary to popular belief that beer is fuller, Dutch scientists have found that consuming 500-600 ml of light beer a day after three weeks reduces bad blood cholesterol by 12%. The results were obtained in a large-scale study of several thousand lovers of the amber drink.
Scientists are not yet aware of the mechanism by which bitter drink affects blood lipids, at this stage they are only adamant that this is due to an increase in good cholesterol, which has the function of "robbing" accumulated fat molecules in blood vessels.
According to scientists, beer contains ingredients that suppress homocysteine in the blood, which is one of the main factors in the development of cardiovascular disease.
Unfortunately for beer lovers, in order for it to have a positive effect on health, you should not drink more than two small mugs a day.
