Health experts have revealed beers like Guinness, Stella Artois Unfiltered and London Porter Dark Ale could all have benefits when it comes to your gut health.
Researchers have been accumulating evidence to suggest that certain beers could help improve the diversity of species in the gut microbiome.
A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, from 2022, followed 22 men who drank a little more than half a pint of beer every day for four weeks and found as a result they had better intestinal health, The Telegraph reported.
Health experts have now conducted a review into experiments in Frontiers in Nutrition and have come to the conclusion various ingredients in beer may have a positive impact on the immune system. Nutrition researcher at King’s College London and founder of The Gut Health Doctor, Dr Megan Rossi, said this was due to plant chemicals known as polyphenols which are found in certain beers and are useful for the bacteria in your gut.
Dr Rossi, speaking to The Telegraph , said: “Bacteria have been shown to digest about 90 per cent of polyphenols and turn them into chemicals, which can have anti-inflammatory effects." The 6 beers that are good for your gut health
The six beers that are good for your gut health, according to health experts, are: 1. Guinness
Guinness is thought to be rich in certain plant chemicals, according to Dr Rossi.
She said: “Some polyphenols are particularly high in Guinness."We talk about diversity (being good for the gut), and that’s the case for drinks as well."So, if you drank a little bit of Guinness one night, and then a little red wine another time, while keeping within the alcohol limit, that’s probably going to get you a wider range of these polyphenols.” Guinness is among the beers experts say could be beneficial for your health.
