I'd just like to hear some opinions of other beer lovers on how you all deal with the health effects of beer.
Mainly I've been focusing on diet lately. Like many a human before me, as I aged I found diet affecting my energy levels and moods more and more. In an effort to avoid the worst effects of a hangover I've attempted to eat a healthier diet. But, this is my conundrum: What constitutes a healthy diet? At first I was into a lean meats (chicken breast / tuna) and whole grain diet (bread, whole grain pasta). After watching various diet documentaries on Netflix and reading the book Wheat Belly I'm even more confused. About the only definitive conclusion I can bring out of all of this is that vegetables = good and fruit may be okay. Dairy, meat, grains, soy, oils (olive oils?), sweets, are all either killing me or okay only in dire starvation circumstances depending on whose recommendations.
3x Bier Munchers Centennial Blonde 140 cal x 3 = 420 Calories
Assuming a 2500 calorie / day diet this is 18% of your daily calories from barley. I'm just starting to think that this leaves absolutely no room for any other grains in your diet to stay balanced. No bread, pasta, processed snacks at all.
What all do you guys and gals do and how do you manage your health & love of beer?
