Cardiovascular disease | Beer and Health database

Beer in moderate amounts can be good for heart and blood vessels mainly because of the alcohol in it. There is strong scientific evidence that consumption of 15–30 g of alcohol per day is associated with a 25% lower relative risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality compared to abstainers. At this level of alcohol intake, coronary heart disease risk is reduced by 34%. The risk for stroke is lowest (20% less) at an intake of up to 15 g of alcohol per day.
Increased HDL cholesterol, improved insulin sensitivity, decreased fibrinogen and reduced inflammation markers are physiological mechanisms that explain this association. Also, on top of a healthy lifestyle and for people having cardiovascular disease, moderate beer consumption may have a cardiovascular protective effect. This is unrelated to the type of beverage.

For CVD prevention: Do not smoke, be active and eat and drink healthily and in moderation.
