While you may remember tequila as the drink that was responsible for you not remembering the many things you did the night before, this alcoholic beverage surprisingly has a lot of health benefits. If you drink it in moderation, you can actually improve a lot of aspects of your body. Here are a few interesting ones you may want to know about:
- Losing Weight
One of the biggest health benefits of tequila is weight loss. That’s because tequila has a lot of natural sugars from agave that contain a lot of fiber. The fiber will help with your digestive system and promote weight loss.
- Increasing Bone Density
Since tequila has the ability to increase bone strength, it’s actually a good deterent for osteoporosis or other bone diseases. Again, this is because of the agave that it contains. The agave contains osteocalcin which is important in promoting bone production.
- Preventing Alzheimer’s
There are a number of studies that actually point to tequila being a helpful way to prevent dementia or even Alzheimer’s disease. Of course, you have to make sure that you don’t drink too much of it in one go since you probably won’t remember what happens after you drink it.
As you can see, tequila may be pretty healthy for you if you drink it in very moderate amounts. A shot a day is pretty good in helping you calm down your nerves as well as provide some really cool health benefits.
