Beer never ceases to amaze us, first because of its varieties, then because of its excellent artisan products that already occupy a large part of the market, and now because it is the perfect accessory for after sports.
Neither Aquarius nor Gatorade, a good cane of Beer and all the contribution of vitamins and minerals that isotonic drinks advocate, we get it with the drink that we like the most, although also with a bit of gradation, that is why moderation is essential.
In a recent study by the Professor of Medical Physiology at the University of Granada and author of the study “Suitability of beer in the recovery of the metabolism of athletes”, Manuel Castillo, removes us from the quagmire of those who practice sports and do not want to abandon the fermented.
The composition of Beer is mainly the liquid element, Water and in its fermentation process with cereal, yeast and hops, it generates a compound, apart from being excellent and tasty, full of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that replace the losses caused by the exercise.
In the postulate, the conclusion details that in the dynamics of exercise we lose a large amount of hydro-mineral elements through sweat and the ingestion of the low-alcohol fermented liquid that is beer at the end of the sport, recovers these elements and facilitates recovery. , especially in a hot environment.
In addition, in the study, it is emphasized that the famous look of obesity caused by Beer is false, since 200 milliliters of beer (the cane or the traditional bottle) contain 90 kilocalories, if it is with alcohol and only 35 kilocalories if it’s about the O, O.
So the abuse in quantity and especially the accompaniments that we give with meals and snacks if they add fat to the body.
In search of homeostatic balance
The Mediterranean Diet and Beer should be taken into account as recipes to combine Leisure and Sports nutrition, and taking 1 to 3 beers a day is not harmful, its abuse and exponential consumption is.
The amount should always be measured as a rehydration that is necessary for the body, and that is capable of reinstating lost energy reserves, and thus in many cases improve physical-sports performance and optimize the speed of post-effort recovery.
Let’s not just stay with the data and combine daily nutrition based on products from the food chain that the Mediterranean Diet proposes to us.
A firm bet of this theory that must be considered right now as a real practice is being carried out by members of the University of Valencia (UV) whose deed lies in the realization of “Beer Runners” races, with which they promote physical activity , running in a group in the open air, and they conclude the tour enjoying a beer and a tapa.
Actually this type of initiative is not new, almost 10 years in the American city of Philadelphia, a group of runners from the city, discovered the investigations of Professor Castillo, and decided to elevate them to the “maximum” of meeting every week to run in a group. and have a beer afterwards.
Long live “Running” and of course “Beer”.
