Did You Know

 Did you know, drinking beer in moderation, supposedly, can reduce the risk of kidney stones by forty percent?

I knew that beer in moderation (no more than 3 a day) supposedly has many health benefits, but I had no idea about the kidney stones. Thanks Sue (EC) for this latest tidbit of trivia.

No, I didn't know this, but I don't drink beer! Hugs, Valerie

So one can assume if you drink beer to excess, you completely erase the risk of kidney stones. Being sensible for a moment, that may not be as silly as it sounds. Lots of fluid passing through kidneys may just prevent kidney stones.

I loathe beer.

Hi Sandra and EC ... occasionally I'll have a beer - but I don't have kidney stones. Cheers Hilary

Why couldn't it be eating lots of milk chocolate?

Jeanie said...

I didn't but I'm telling Rick that right now!

Sandra Cox said...

Who'd a thought.

Sandra Cox said...

I don't either:)
Hugs received and returned.

Sandra Cox said...

Definitely. Drinking a lot of water is also stressed.
Beer supposedly prevents calcium deposits from forming in the kidneys.

Sandra Cox said...

Yup. Me too.

Sandra Cox said...

Glad you don't have kidney stones. They're nasty things.

Sandra Cox said...

Sure would work for me.

I wish I liked beer. Threw it up in my teen years and never liked it again.

Considering my hubby had a very large kidney stone, I will need to tell him to drink more beer. He will be happy about that. This is also a reason why my brother never had one.

I can't drink beer or other alcohol, unfortunately, because of my medication.

Sandra Cox said...

I hear ya. I've never liked it. I don't think I've ever had an entire beer:)

D. Wallace Peach said...

Well, that's good to know. I'll have a beer chaser after my healthy glass of wine! :-D

Uy no lo sabia. te mando un beso.

Sandra Cox said...

Awww.

Sandra Cox said...

Nothing wrong with that. If you research and find out differently let us know. The sites I saw said that it was a diuretic and prevents calcium deposits from forming.

Sandra Cox said...

Heh.
I'm so glad you stopped by, Diana.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Lon,
Nice to see you.
Glad you found the information interesting.
Take special care.

I didn't know this and did more research ...
There is an interesting article in the Renal and Urology News.
So many thanks.

All the best Jan
