Beer, which is already proven to boost self-esteem and make people look better, may also strengthen bones, according to a study published in Nutrition.
The studies conducted by scientists in Spain have come
to this interesting inference. They found that the women who were
light-to-moderate beer drinkers had stronger, denser bones than non-beer
drinkers. The researchers attributed the findings to beer's high levels of
phytoestrogen (the plant version of estrogen) and silicon, both of which slow
down bone thinning and promote growth. Silicon plays a major role in bone
formation.
Beer has been claimed to be one of the most important
sources of silicon in the western diet.
Drinking beer regularly, the study goes on to say,
makes women less likely to suffer from osteoporosis after menopause. [source]
