In addition to loving beer and Scotch, I'm pretty passionate about staying healthy.  I eat reasonably healthy food and work out regularly.  I believe it is possible to balance a healthy lifestyle with any of life's pleasures.  On this page, I hope to share some thoughts on this and links to other articles that I like about health, fitness and nutrition.  Cheers to your health!

At least one study has concluded that drinking beer is better than drinking water for hydration after a strenuous workout.  The sample size was small and the greater hydration was not substantial, so I'd take the study with a grain of salt.  Nonetheless, the results were heavily reported, so here is the study, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Beer is made with the hop flower, but there is a substance in the hop bract, not typicially used in brewing, that could be good for your teeth.  Maybe brewers will start using the bract or maybe there are trace amounts of the relevant substances in the hop flower as well.  One can always hope!
