Middle-aged and elderly people can now swap their daily glass of red wine with a cold beer without worrying about their health. New research indicates that good health just might be hidden at the bottom of a beer of glass, ScienceNordic.com reported.

Beer has lots of health benefits when it's consumed in small amounts. Moderate consumption can mean as much as three glasses a day, when paired with a healthy diet.

Along with its many other virtues, beer can help prevent cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and high blood pressure.

中老年人群可以把每日一杯红酒换成冰啤酒，也不必担忧健康问题。据北欧科学消息网站报道，新研究表明，健康秘诀也许就藏于啤酒杯底。

啤酒如果少量饮用，对健康有很多益处。所谓适量，也就是最多每日3杯，而且需要搭配健康膳食。

除了很多益处之外，啤酒还能防止心血管疾病、糖尿病和高血压。
