Beer! Maybe one (or two) every day helps to improve your body’s resistance to disease. The study found that even non-alcoholic beer seems to help, so maybe it’s just the fermentation that’s doing the trick. Science leads the way.

Like wine, beer can have health benefits when consumed in moderation. Non-alcoholic beers have become

wildly popular recently, but are these drinks also healthful?

In a pilot study, researchers report that compared to their pre-trial microbiome, men who drank either one alcoholic or non-alcoholic lager daily had a more diverse set of gut microbes, which can reduce the risk for some diseases.

Studies have shown that when more types of bacteria are present, people tend to have a lower chance of developing chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. And beer contains compounds and microorganisms from its fermentation that could impact the variety of microbes in the human gut.

A previously published study showed that when both men and women consumed non-alcoholic lager beer for 30 days, their gut microbiome diversity increased. Many of those same people were also in a second group that drank an alcoholic version of the beer, and it didn’t have the same effect.

In this double-blind study, 19 healthy men were randomly divided into two groups who drank 11 fluid ounces of either alcoholic or non-alcoholic lager with dinner for 4 weeks. But at the end of the 4-week period, both groups had greater bacterial diversity in their gut microbiome, indicating an improvement in intestinal health.

The researchers suggest that these results could differ from those of the prior study because of the different designs of the trials, and because the participants were living in different communities.

But based on this pilot study, the researchers say that consuming one bottle of beer, regardless of its alcohol content, may be beneficial to the gut microbiome and intestinal health of men.
