SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHalcohol and body 17/12/2001 Beer protects against stinging pain in the legs Intermittent Claudication is better known as shop-window legs. It is a severe case of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) in the legs that causes stinging stabs of pain when walking. When you stop for a moment the pain disappears again. People suffering from intermittent claudication regularly have to interrupt their walk in order to avoid these stabs of pain. A recent study has revealed that drinking beer (and wine) on a regular basis has a protecting effect on intermittent claudication. This effect is most pronounced among men that consume daily 13 to 24 g (one or two glasses) and among women that consume 7 to 12 g per day (0,5 to 1 glass). Source: Circulation 2000;102:3092. | |
