The next time you have a drop too much, maybe you can try giving this
excuse to your significant other half. I bet this is the best thing a
man would like to read and know and a woman's worst nightmare. However,
nothing can be further than the truth, the key towards stronger bones is
through drinking beer and wine but in moderation.
A study
published in the American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition has offer
suggestions that to keep your bones strong and healthy, drinking a beer
or two or a glass of wine everyday can have a beneficial effect on your
bones by boosting oestrogen levels. However, if you drink anything more
or choose hard liquor instead of wine or beer, it will have the reverse
effect and will actually weaken your bones instead of strengthening it.
The study reveals the extend of the effect that alcohol can
have on bone mineral density and it was larger than any other single
nutrient tested, even for calcium. It is definitely not a case of vague
outcomes but it is very clear cut on the extent that alcohol can have on
bone mineral density.
The researchers found that the bone density
(BMD) for men who had a glass or two of wine or beer daily had denser
bones than non drinkers. For those who drank two or more glasses of hard
liquor had considerably lower BMD than those men who drank up to two
glasses of liquor on a daily basis.
One of the reason why beer can
be a good source of nutrient for stronger bones is the presence of
silicon. Silicon is a mineral that is increasingly rare in modern diet
but is much needed for maintaining healthy bones. The silicon content
found in beer is at the very minimum accountable for some of the bone
building effects in men. For women, too few of them drank beer in the
study to make a conclusion on how the mineral affected female bone
density.
Why beer and wine are also better choices than liquor for
people looking for an alcoholic drink is because beer and wine contain
potentially beneficial plant substances such as resveratrol whereas for
hard liquor, it has had most of its natural substances removed during
its distillation processes.
