DRINKING beer is better for your gut than trendy health foods, boffins claim.<\/p>\n
New research has found guzzling booze in moderation was better than abstaining altogether.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It could, in theory, prevent heart disease, improve blood circulation and combat ageing.<\/p>\n
International experts found beer to be rich in a beneficial mix of compounds needed for good gut health – which is believed to improve heart health and immunity.<\/p>\n
It was found to be more effective than probiotics when drunk in moderation.<\/p>\n
Probiotics are foods with live microorganisms with supposed health benefits.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They include the likes of trendy kimchi, kombucha and kefir \u2013 popular with Gen-Zers.<\/p>\n
Other examples include cheese and yogurt.<\/p>\n
The research said: "As a long-established fermented beverage, beer is rich in many essential amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, and bioactive substances that are involved in the regulation of many human physiological functions.<\/p>\n
"The polyphenols in the malt and hops of beer are also important active compounds that interact in both directions with the gut microbiome.<\/p>\n
