Beer is Good For health

- xanthohumol, found in beer hops helps your body break down carcinogens (chemicals that cause cancer)



However, for optimum beer nutrition, drink dark beer which has more flavanoids (natural oxidants that fight disease)



But apart from being accessory to a good a time, beer has a lot of other uses.



Alternative Uses of Beer

There's This dude in Quqiao village (in China), who even built solar-powered water heater out of old bottles, warming enough bathwater for his family of free.

Setting Lotion for Hair



Before hitting the shower, mix 3 tablespoons beer in 1/2 cup warm water. Rub this into your hair after you shampoo and rinse it off to get volume, shine and some awesome waves.



Or, you can soak your hair in beer and then soak some sunrays for all-natural highlights in your hair.

Bubble Bath



Pour in into your tub for a bubble bath that's good for your skin and hair.

Tenderize Meat



Beer's slightly acidic pH level lets you enjoy lean meat without ripping and gnawing - it can tenderize the meat.



It's also better than wine- and vinegar-based marinades in not imparting too much flavor to the meat.

Insomnia



Another slightly obvious use of beer - beer's Lactoflavin and Nicotinic Acid content promote sleep. Hops too are a natural sedative.

Stomach Ache



Beer's fizz (carbonation) can sooth an upset stomach, and it's also a mild sedative when the pain is too much to bear (and you don't have a painkiller lying around) (MensXP.com)
