Crack open a cold one for better gut health, new research reveals.
Their gut health. At least that ought to be the case, according to new research that shows the younger generation’s TikTok-fueled obsession with strange culinary mash-ups and trendy health foods is leaving their stomachs in worse shape than if they’d simply sipped a beer.
Scientists at China’s Dalian Medical University wrote in their findings that cracking open a cold one can have “even greater effects” than fashionable probiotics — a collection of healthy bacterias that mainly benefit the intestines — found in most fermented foods, a Gen Z fave. The cheers-worthy news places the cheeky pint in direct competition with popular foods like yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, miso, tempeh, kimchi, kefir, sourdough bread and certain cheeses.Getty Images/iStockphoto
Beer is rich in an antioxidant boosting type of compound known as polyphenols that, when paired with the brew’s fiber contents, “show the potential to enhance the development of a healthy gut [micro organism] through probiotic mechanisms,” researchers wrote.“It has been reported that beer consumption has a regulatory effect on various physiological functions of the human body,” they continued.
