The fermented drinks of low graduation like beer has many healthy properties such as low-calories, protein compounds, minerals and trace elements, vitamins A, D and E, carbon dioxide and polyphenols. Beer is the only drink which contains Hops (Humulus lupulus) and this plant produces a greater and better antioxidant effect.
