A Pint of Beer a Day Keeps the Cardiologist Away

A recent study claims that drinking a pint of beer a day may lower the risk of developing heart failure.

Drinking up to three quarters of a pint of beer a day was found to increase vitamin B6 in the blood plasma by 30 per cent. Researchers from the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in Utrechtseweg, Holland, found that the vitamin B6 prevented the buildup of homocysteine, an amino acid metabolite known to cause cardiovascular disease. The study was done on 11 healthy men aged between 44 to 59 over a period of 12 weeks.

·         It raises HDL (Good cholesterol)

·         It lowers blood pressure
