RAISE YOUR GLASS: there are benefits of beer!

Since the summer heat is still battering most of America, it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated. Why not stay hydrated with cold beer?

Here’s a rundown of the different ways that beer is actually good for our bodies:

Anti-cancer effects – An element found in hops, from which beer is made, has an anti-cancer effect.

Vitamins – Every glass of beer is a rich source of vitamin B6, which has been proven to have positive effects in lessening heart disease.

Kidney Stones – Researchers have found that beer reduces the danger of kidney stones by 40 percent.

Relaxation – Beer improves your mood by causing the brain to create the “hormone of happiness” serotonin.
