Coffee before exercise, Beer after?
A couple of months ago I wrote about a study that found drinking coffee or other caffeinated drinks an hour before exercise will reduce muscle pain.
But here’s a study that goes one better and suggests that drinking beer after exercise improves your hydration better than drinking water would.
The study from Spain is a couple of years old and I haven’t seen any follow-up studies which makes it difficult to judge it’s accuracy.
So have a read and see what you think.
The study done by researchers at Granada University in Spain tested 25 students over several months, asking them to run on a …read more
Stinky Farts, Shrinking Breasts, and Cancer Fighting Beer.
Medical research boring? Not with headlines like these…
MSNBC led with a new study reporting how Stinky farts may help regulate blood pressure. Seems that a smelly rotten-egg gas (scientific name – hydrogen sulfide) in farts controls blood pressure, at least in mice. This gas, made natural in cells lining the mice’s blood vessels, apparently relaxes the blood vessels which, in turn, helps prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). Wow, wonder if this will open up a whole new avenue of treatments for hypertension based on ’stinky farts”?
Meanwhile, the Telegraph wrote about how Drinking too much coffee ‘could shrink women’s breasts’, based on …read more

The scoop? When people have been drinking, others appear more attractive to them. And not just members of the opposite …read more

Happy Weekend, everyone!
Don’t you just love when your favorite “bad” foods suddenly appear with a glowing halo hovering above them? Yeah, me too. Makes my day.
Like today. Suddenly that steak craving I’ve been having is validated, as is the beer I’m sure to consume throughout the weekend. Why, you ask? Why, I’m so glad you asked. Please, allow me to share:
Steak builds muscles. Okay, so you may not become the next Ah-nold (or Arnold-ette) by sidling up at the nearest steakhouse, but you’ll be happy to know that women who …read more
Have some vitamins with your beer.
Vitamins – they add them to the water, so why the beer?
After all, when you drink alcohol you are depleting your Vitamin B. So what better way to get it back than in the product that’s taking it away. That’s the theory, apparently, behind Filipino inventer Billy L Malang’s Vitamin-B enhanced beer. Although not yet on the market, this beer won a gold medal at the 2004 Eurpoean Union sponsored Genius -Europe competition and was a hit at the recent Inventors Day Convention in Bangkok.
He claims that his is the first Vitamin Beer, but that’s not exactly true. Stampade Beers of …read more
