Guinness - It Really Is Good For You!

Guinness - It Really Is Good For You!

Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day, and TGIF! Now is the time of year that we celebrate our country’s Irish heritage by knocking back some Jameson whiskey and a pint or two of Guinness. Oh, and we wear a lot of green and eat Irish soda bread too. Before you start feeling too bad about the alcohol and carb overload, you’ll be glad to know that all those ads from the 1920s that read “Guinness Is Good For You” were no joke. When tested on dogs, antioxidants in Guinness helped reduce blood clots and slow down deposits of cholesterol on the artery walls. It looks like a little

bit of Guinness may be heart healthy, then. Researchers say that a pint a day may work as well as a low dose of aspirin in preventing heart clots that raise the risk of heart attacks. Some other reasons you may want to enjoy a pint of beer on St. Patty’s Day or this weekend: better bones , weight management , and a better memory . This is not a license to go out and get wasted though. As always, everything is better in moderation! And remember: don’t drink and drive.
