Benefits
- ✓A social and relaxation role in a moderate context - a real factor in adhering to a balanced lifestyle long term
- ✓Contains small amounts of potassium and B vitamins from grains, though nutritionally insignificant
- ✓Light/alcohol-free versions considerably reduce calories and allow the taste without the impact of alcohol
- ✓Fewer calories per 100ml than many sodas or sweet cocktails - relevant only if the portion stays small
Considerations
- !A 500ml beer provides ~215 calories, and calories from alcohol are empty, with no nutritional value
- !Alcohol is metabolized as a priority by the body, which can temporarily slow fat burning
- !Stimulates appetite and lowers inhibitions - often leads to extra consumption of calorie-dense snacks
- !Affects sleep quality and recovery, with a negative impact on next-day training performance
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends limiting alcohol, because it adds empty calories and affects recovery. If you drink, choose light or alcohol-free beer, limit the amount, and include the calories in your daily count. Hydrate with water between beers and avoid the fatty snacks that often accompany beer - that is usually where most of the calories add up.
