Beer can rejuvenate the human organism and defeat stress, a team of Sofia-based scientists has stated.
However, beer should only be consumed in small quantities – up to one liter per day for men and half a liter per day for women, according to the scientists from the Bulgarian Institute of Cryobiology and Food Technology.
If consumed healthily, it can decrease the mortality rate by 10% to 20%, they believe.
Beer contains a rare molecule named Nicotinamide riboside, which enhances the function of mitochondria, thus slowing down the cellular ageing.
Nicotinamide riboside is also found in milk.
The Sofia-based researchers have reminded that physical activity, moderate beer drinking and the consumption of fruits and vegetables can make one look 14 years younger than their actual age, provided the person does not smoke.
