10 Surprising Ways Drinking Beer Can Actually Improve Your Health

Gets Rid Of Dandruff

Rinsing hair two or three times a week with one bottle of beer is an effective way to get rid of dandruff while leaving the hair soft and shiny. The high yeast content and vitamin B in beer are responsible for producing these effects. Even people without dandruff wash their hair with beer to give it a shine that is hard to achieve. To date, there is no scientific evidence that washing hair with beer reduces dandruff. However, many people swear by it as an easy way to maintain a healthy head of hair without splurging on expensive shampoos.

Lowers The Risk Of A Stroke

Researchers at the American Stroke Association have found that moderate beer consumption can decrease the risk of a stroke by up to 50 percent. This was in comparison to individuals who were considered to be non-drinkers. A team of researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health carried out another study that concluded that moderate daily beer consumption prevents blood clots, which can block normal blood flow to the brain, causing an ischemic stroke. They examined how drinking beer improved blood flow in the body and found that moderate beer consumption made arteries more 'flexible.'
