Drinking beer is quite common in Spain. However, with the arrival of summer and the fact that it has become fashionable to be much more careful about our health and well-being, a large number of beer drinkers are making the decision to switch to alcohol-free beer.
And, although this is healthier because of the lack of alcohol and that it keeps its properties intact, it is also true that we must take into some considerations before consuming it excessively or regularly
Why choose non-alcoholic beer?
Choosing non-alcoholic options for any drink will always be more beneficial than choosing options that do contain alcohol. This is mainly because the health risks to the consumer are reduced. Eliminating alcohol from our diet significantly reduces the chances of suffering damage to vital organs such as the stomach, esophagus, pancreas or liver, among others
In addition, a study by Integris Health has shown that non-alcoholic beer prevents the production of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite. This means that this drink has a positive impact on digestion. If you want to reduce the calories you consume, non-alcoholic beer can also be your ally
Beer also has multiple antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help delay premature aging, for example. All this without sacrificing taste and experience, as it is usually quite similar to the alcoholic version.
If you switch to alcohol-free beer, you should keep in mind...
If you have already made the decision to switch to non-alcoholic beer, you can benefit from its properties without the disadvantages of alcohol. However, although this is more optimal, you should have a series of warnings before consuming it excessively
Non-alcoholic beer has a high glycaemic index and sugar content that can have effects on blood glucose. In addition, for diabetics, it can pose a risk if consumed excessively. Therefore, it is essential to consume it in moderation and choose brands or beers that may be healthier
It is important to be clear that 'alcohol-free' beer is not a substitute for water. Nor is it a drink for everyone. Consumers with problems tolerating gluten or other ingredients that make up beer should be alert in the same way as they are when consuming alcoholic beer to maintain their food safety
