Despite of warning that we must avoid soft drinks and juices because they have much sugar, some experts suggest  drinking  only water and milk.

Among drinks with low content of sugar, however, there is one which gets praises-beer.

The researches show that it protects from Altshaymer, helps to lose weight and even balances hormones. Now all it attracts more and more men and women, the supporters of healthy way of life.

Many popular people begin appreciating the quality of this drink as well. The actress Mila Kunis confessed some time ago that her favorite drink is the beer “Blue Moon”, and the supermodel Elle Macpherson said that she washed her hair with beer. Even the saint of Hollywood Gwyneth Paltrow says that she admires a foamy liquid named “Guinness” very much. But, in fact, what is the use of beer and how is it useful for us?

Vitamin A in a pint of beer

“If you analyses beer, you will be surprised how many nutritive substances are in it. Beer contains all irreplaceable (and many from inessential) aminoacids” says the Australian doctor Stefan Domenig.

Except all these building protein blocks and minerals as phosphorus, iodine, magnesium and potassium, the beer is rich in calcium too so it makes your bones stronger. The researches of the University “Tufts” in the USA in 2009 establish that the moderate consumption of beer can protect the mineral thickness of bones.

The beer belly is a myth

Though the beer is rich in vitamins, at the same time the beer has a low content of sugar, high levels of which can cause diabetes and obesity. When one can of coke contains seven teaspoons of sugar, a can of orange juice –six, half pint of beer contains a little more than one teaspoon of sugar.

“In comparison with soft drinks, beer doesn’t increase blood sugar. Beer is 93 % water so it is a quite moisturizing drink”, says the dietitian Dr. Catherine  O’Sullivan.

In fact even the moderate consumption of beer can help to avoid diabetes.  Because of the threat of so-called “beer belly” , the researches among 2000 regular beer  drinkers made by London University  conclude that the moderate consumption of beer  is not connected with a big getting of weight.

The beer is rich in fibers when two glasses give between 10 and 30 % of recommended daily doze. As it is known fibers help us to feel full and don’t feel hunger.

Protection from diseases

Although drinking beer is usually connected with blurring of brain, the researches show that it can help to be protected from Altshaymer disease. This disease, which hits about 500 thousands of British subjects, is connected with high levels of aluminum, silicon in beer and can compensate damages which it does.

The researches in 2008, published in the journal “Food and chemical toxicology”, show that silicon can reduce aluminum in the digestive tract and slow down heaping of metal in body and brain tissue. Anyway take care not to drink much because two liters per day can lead to the loss of memory.

Besides, the beer is useful for heart. The researches of Athens University in 2013 prove that it makes flexibility of arteries stronger. The scientists study the cardio-vascular system of men, not smoking, under 35 years old after they had drunk 400 ml. of beer and compare the results with those of men who had already drunk vodka or soft beer. These three drinks have a good effect on arteries but the benefit from beer is the biggest one.

The beer for beauty

People drinking beer make a great favor for their skin. Made from barley, the drink is rich in ferulic acid, which is a mighty antioksidant, proved protected skin from harmful sunny rays. This acid is contained in tomatoes, sweet maize and rice too and in beer in the form which is easily and quickly assimilated in the organism. The hop in beer is very useful for hair and a number of celebrities, Catherine Zita -Jones among them, wash their hair with this foamy liquid.

Increase your libido with beer

It is said that hop in beer has qualities which are similar to aphrodisiac. The researches show that phytoestrogen from hop and similar estrogen compounds, which are in the vegetable food, can help against hot waves, low libido and other symptoms connected wit menopause. The beer helps hormonal balance at the syndrome of polycystic ovaries, endometriosis and premenopause.

The useful qualities of beer

The beer hides the years and lessens the stress, this is a short result of the researches of the Institute of cryobiology and nutritive technologies in Sofia. The condition is to drink beer in moderate dozes – one liter per day for men and half a liter for women.

If one keeps this condition, the whole death-rate will reduce with 10-20 %, the research shows. The good affect of beer is due to useful but very rare molecule called nicotinamide ribozid.

The scientists notice that this discovery makes full the known facts that the combination of four healthy elements-physical activity, not smoking, moderate consumption of beer and everyday take of fruit and vegetables, is equal to rejuvenation with 14 years from the real age.

The scientists also say that beer doesn’t contain fats and cholesterol but it is rich in easily assimilated sugars and slowly assimilated dextrins. Due to it the beer isn’t an obstacle for diets and it can be part of them. Due to moderate use of beer, the human organism gets specific substances which are only in hop. The hop ingredient ksantohumol is  much stronger  antioksidant than those in wine, green tea  and soya products , our scientists claim. The hop reduces stress and “unlocks” endofrins, which are hormones of happiness.

HOW TO LOSE 30 KG FAST. MICHEL MONTIGNAC DIET PLAN

The French dietician stakes on food with low glycemic index. His diet reminds us the Mediterranean one. It is recommended by the World healthy organization and Harvard medical faculty. We can trust it.

According to Montignac, obesity is due to the surplus of insulin which happens because of excessive use of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index. The glycemic index shows the speed with which carbohydrates are assimilated by the organism. Food has different ability to increase the blood level and influences on production of insulin. The surplus of insulin leads to the fat accumulation and increases the weight. That’s why Montignac advises to eliminate the quick carbohydrates (sugar and pastas, fizzy drinks) and reduce minimally the fats in our menu. Because of it his diet is very useful for people suffering diabetics.

The Montignac’s supporters are sure that the reduction of food with a high glycemic index is  inevitably beneficial for the organism. His critics, however, mind to eliminate the sources of such carbohydrates as potatoes, rice, carrots and bread which ensure a great number of vitamins and minerals.

The French dietician Michel Montignac quickly becomes famous for his program of nutrition. He himself lost 30 pounds with this program. Montignac was the first who suggested not to number traditional calories but the glycemic index of food. His motto  ”It is not necessary to be hungry in order to lose the weight” was liked by the exhausted candidates for elegant body. The confidence was full because the Frenchman himself had used this method.

Montignac says that we accumulate fat eating food with high glycemic index because they sharply increase the insulin level in blood. And this hormone itself causes the getting weight. Food with low index doesn’t have big amounts of sugar, for their remaking they need less insulin, so we can eat them regularly without getting the weight.

Principles

The dietician makes a table for forbidden and allowed food. There is bad food with glycemic index over 55 on one side, and the good one under this value on the other side. There are no meat and fish on the list but because they don’t contain carbohydrates, their glycemic index is equal to zero. So one can eat them without any worry. Besides, one must drink at least 2 liters of water per day. It is forbidden to mix carbohydrates and fats and one must keep the interval between meals not less than 3 hours. Thus everyone can quickly and easily react and make his own daily menu. Although in the site of the diet there are concrete programs and many recipes of French tasty dishes, which are not dangerous for the figure.

Montignac promises that keeping his recommendations for 3 months you can lose 15 pounds without any yo-yo effect.

The exemplary menu

First of all you must know forbidden and allowed food.  Put in order due to their indexes from high to low.

Bad carbohydrates:  sugar, bread, baked potatoes, honey, popcorns, carrots, chocolate, boiled potatoes, maize, rice, liver, red beet, water-melon, banana, jam, paste.

Good carbohydrates: whole wheat bread, brown rice, peas, bran, oat nuts, fresh juices, beans, dry peas, milk foods, lentils, black bread, fresh fruit, dark chocolate with over 60  % of cocoa, fructose, soya, green vegetables, mushrooms.

The diet passes two stages. During the first stage the spare kilograms disappear and during the second one the achieved result is stabilized.

The first stage

Breakfast: Start always with fruit because they stimulate the work of the stomach, quickly remade and easily assimilated. The breakfast must be abundant, keeping proteins and carbohydrates with fibers. For example, yogurt or cottage cheese with a slice of black bread or oat nuts with skim milk.

The second breakfast: It must not have carbohydrates –include, for instance, cheese, cottage cheese, ham, boiled eggs or poached eggs.

Lunch: There must be proteins and lipids but without fatty meals. Bad carbohydrates are fully eliminated. The main dish may be meat or fish with dressing from fresh vegetables (without red beet and carrots) and cheese or yogurt for the dessert.

Dinner: it must be light and it may be protein-lipid or protein-carbohydrate. Eat it before 7 o’clock p.m. You can include vegetable soup, fish, chicken or eggs in the protein-lipid diet. Avoid sausages because they contain about 20 % meat, much salt and different chemical side-dishes. You must include food full of carbohydrates with many fibers without fat. Cottage cheese, tomatoes, aubergines, green beans, cauliflower, green salad.

The second stage

After getting the desirable weight, you must stabilize it. Keep the next principles:

It is allowed to mix fats and carbohydrates sometimes, but eat a big portion of green salad with them.

The dry wine is allowed but with some cheese.

Sometimes you can take bad carbohydrates but a little.
