Beer is rich in sugars, vitamins, amino acids, inorganic salts and trace elements and other nutrients, and is called “liquid bread”. But recent medical research has found that if people drink a lot of beer over a long period of time, it can cause damage to the body, which experts call “beer disease”. Beer heart: In alcoholic beverages, beer has the least alcohol content, and the alcohol content of a liter of beer is equivalent to the alcohol content of more than one or two bottles of liquor, so many people take beer as a summer drink. But if you drink indiscriminately, the accumulated alcohol in the body will damage liver function, increase the burden on the kidneys, the myocardial tissue will also appear fat cell infiltration, so that myocardial function is weakened, causing tachycardia; plus excess fluid to increase the amount of blood circulation and increase the burden on the heart, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy, ventricular volume expansion, the formation of “beer heart”. In the long run, this can lead to heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, etc. Beer belly: Because beer is rich in nutrients, calorie production, long-term heavy drinking will cause fat accumulation in the body, resulting in a large belly, the formation of “beer belly”. Patients are often accompanied by elevated blood lipids and blood pressure. Stones and gout: The information also shows that patients with atrophic gastritis and urinary stones can suffer from recurrence or aggravation of old diseases when they drink large amounts of beer. This is because the barley wort used to brew beer contains calcium, oxalic acid, uronic acid and purine nucleotides, which interact with each other to more than double the amount of uric acid in the body, not only to promote the formation of gallbladder and kidney stones, but also to induce gout. Gastroenteritis: Drinking large amounts of beer can damage the gastric mucosa, causing gastritis and peptic ulcers, epigastric discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal distention and acid reflux. Cancer: Drinking too much beer also reduces the body’s ability to respond. American cancer experts have found that heavy beer drinkers are three times more likely to develop oral and esophageal cancers than those who drink hard liquor. Lead poisoning: Beer brewing raw materials contain lead, after drinking large amounts, blood lead levels rise, making people less intelligent, less responsive, serious damage to the reproductive system; the elderly are prone to Alzheimer’s disease. Reasonable consumption of beer: the right amount and the right temperature First of all, it should be the right amount. Adults should not drink more than 300 ml (less than one can amount) per time, not more than 500 ml (one beer bottle amount) per day, and 100~200 ml per time is more appropriate. Next is the right temperature. The most suitable temperature for drinking beer is 12℃~15℃, when the aroma and foam are in the best condition, and the refreshing feeling is most obvious when drinking. Furthermore, it is not advisable to share a meal with pickled and smoked foods. It is advisable to eat fruit and light dishes, peanut rice is the best beer down food.
