According to a recent study, women who were beer drinkers were less likely to suffer from osteoporosis.
“It is thought that the high level of silicon in beer slows down the thinning that leads to fractures and boosts the formation of new bone, the journal Nutrition reports.
Beer is also rich in phytoestrogens, plant versions of oestrogen, which keep bones healthy.”
Women in the study who were considered light drinkers (less than a pint a day) did just as well as those who were moderate drinkers.
This means that you can drink enough for strong bones, but not enough for a beer gut!
