It is pleasant for an evening with friends and, “in small doses, it can also be beneficial”. Praising “the oldest drink in the world”, beer, is nutritionist Ciro Vestita who lists its characteristics to Adnkronos Salute on the occasion of International Beer Day, which is celebrated today.
This drink, he continues, “allows the brain to release endorphins. A small glass of beer at the end of the day, in front of a pizza, can only be positive. Obviously it is alcoholic, so you have to be careful, never exceed the doses”, continues Vestita who says: “We know that the first vines were planted in Georgia, near Russia, 15 thousand years ago for wine. But we also know that the Egyptians used beer already 20 thousand years ago: it is a very ancient drink”.
As for the benefits, it is “diuretic, purifying, detoxifying. With different characteristics depending on the various types of beer. The important thing, I repeat, is not to overdo it, because it is alcoholic and the doses must be limited”.
