Beer Is Healthy In Moderate Quantities!

My friend Ulag wants to get rid of alcoholic drinks in a phased manner. When he sought my advice I suggested to him to restrict himself to beer leaving all other alcoholic beverages.

Taken in moderate quantities beer is supposed to be the healthiest alcoholic beverage. It contains fibre, malt, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. It has a lower calorific value compared to other intoxicating drinks. It is a well balanced diet according to researchers.

Beer is the national drink in the UK. Some believe that it contains chemicals instead of barley and hops. Another wrong notion is that beer contains fat.

Beer is freely available in local shops, restaurants and pubs and people meet there to socialize and share happiness. Beer culture is predominant in Europe. Americans feel that it is not a drink for aristocratic society and they prefer wine.

In the light of the above we can say boldly that beer is good for health in limited quantities. It makes both ends meet - you can be an alcoholic and be healthy!

Keep Away From iPods, They Impair Your Hearing!

It is a common sight nowadays to see youngsters walking down the road intently listening to iPod music, with wires originating from their ears and dangling down their body. Like their computers they have also become experts in multitasking. However this multitasking is dangerous and it gives rise to accidents and unpleasant happenings, especially when a guy drives a car on a busy road or a machine operator runs a machine in a production shop or a doctor listens to the woes of the patient with the music gadget on.

Apart from this researchers have found that listening to iPod or MP3 Player or other audio gadgets just for one hour impairs hearing. Scientists have inferred that hair cells in the outer region of the ears are damaged when a person wears earphones and listens to music for an hour or more.

I appeal to our younger generation to desist from use of musical gadgets of this type which may affect their health.
