Drinking beer can avoid osteoporosis

A recent study by Spanish scientists has shown that women who regularly drink beer can reduce the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Scientists have investigated 1700 healthy women with an average age of about 48 years of drinking habits that affect bone health. Women who participated in the study were given arm bone as scientists thought osteoporosis was most pronounced in this area.

Analysis of the results showed that women who regularly drank beer (even a small amount each day) had stronger and stronger arm bones than women who did not drink beer. The reason explained by scientists is that in beer there is a very high amount of silicon, an important substance that helps bone regeneration.

In addition, beer is also rich in phytoestrogens (true estrogen), which is good for bone health, especially those with spinal pain.

Currently, in the UK there are about 3 million women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Therefore, Spanish scientists recommend that besides regular exercise women should also drink some beer during meals to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
