MANILA, Philippines - Don’t forget to say “cheers” to a healthy heart the next time you enjoy a mug of beer. Did you know that you are reducing your risk of heart disease as you booze? Here are some benefits of the liquor that is not only a well-known match for broken hearts, it actually mends them—literally!

Beer raises levels of good cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein or HDL is the good cholesterol that helps arteries from getting clogged. Studies show that a beer or two a day raises levels of HDL, the friendly scavenger that cruises the bloodstream. HDL removes harmful bad cholesterol from where it doesn’t belong. It scrubs the inner walls of blood vessels called endothelium, preventing damage that can lead to heart attack.

Beer lowers levels of bad cholesterol.In reverse, drinking beer help remove low-density lipoprotein or LDL from our system. The bad cholesterol clogs the artery, forming a bump in the artery wall called a plaque. When the surface of the plaque ruptures, the blood clot formed can cause a heart attack.

Beer thins the blood. Research shows that drinking even moderate amounts of beer can affect blood coagulation -- acting as a “blood thinner.” This indicates a bottle of brew can ease the flow of blood to and from your heart.

Beer lowers blood pressure. A Harvard University study found that moderate beer drinkers were less likely to develop high blood pressure, a major risk for heart attack. The research also shows that beer can lower blood pressure better than sipping wine or spirits.

But how much should you drink? Scientists say roughly 12 ounces of beer, the amount usually found in one bottle or can. Keeping in mind the importance of not overdoing too much of a good thing, beer can be considered a part of a health regime. The tactic is to keep everything in moderation and drinking responsibly.

Kaso 1 bottle/can lang pala. Bitin eh, huwag na lang. Red wine na lang, tama lang yung 1 bottle.

I usually have a six pack chillin inside the fridge.

Mas healthy pa yata to open a bottle of beer (as a thirst quencher) than opening a can of soft drinks eh.

Softdrinks is full of sugar and it is carbonated. Diabetes at cancer ang makukuha lang sa kakainom ng softdrinks.

As of now, mas prefer ko ang beer over hard drinks.

Hmmmm, may Bud ako sa ref na di ko pa nabubuksan

Yeah. When I was fixing my cars last weekend, I opened a beer instead of the usual coke-in-can. Okay din pala! I always see it in the movies, mechanics opening a can of beer ... ginaya ko lang.
