Beer a day better than an apple for health.

Beer instead of apples. That’s the suggestion of a new study. They say a beer a day can help cut down on developing chronic diseases. It can even be nonalcoholic beer. Beer contains polyphenols and microorganisms from its fermentation that could impact the variety of microbes in the human gut. They had healthy men drink alcoholic and nonalcoholic beer every day for four weeks. At the end, they all had more good bacteria in the tummies, which is a good thing, and better intestinal health.
