The harmful effects of heavy drinking have been well described; beverages with high alcohol content are not good for human health.<ref name=yangao>Yang D, Gao X. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224421001552 Research progress on the antioxidant biological activity of beer and strategy for applications.] ''Trends Food Sci Technol.'' 2021;110:754-764.</ref> However, the effect of an intermediate amount of drinking is more complex and needs further study. This issue involves the possible probiotic effects associated with non-alcoholic ingredients in beverages such as beer. Some clinical trials have suggested that moderate consumption of beer is good for human health, mainly due to antioxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increasing anti oxidant activities (AOX) of foods and beverages consumed by people is an effective way to improve human health. | The harmful effects of heavy drinking have been well described; beverages with high alcohol content are not good for human health.<ref name=yangao>Yang D, Gao X.

The health benefits of barley β-glucans include reduction of blood cholesterol and glucose and weight loss by increased satiety, and therefore, the control of heart disease and type-2 diabetes (Baik & Ullrich 2008). However, new findings revealed that cereal grains also contain many health-promoting components such as vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, phytochemicals and other bioactive food components, which include phenolic compounds (Dykes & Rooney 2007).<ref name=simhor>Šimić G, Horvat D, Dvojković K, et al.

Beer has a higher nutritional value than other alcoholic beverages, because of its minerals and essential nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium.<ref name=soliva>Solgajová M, Ivanišová E, Nôžková J, Frančáková H, Tóth Ž, Dráb Š.

Among dietary antioxidants, phenolics are by far the most abundant in common human diets. Epidemiological studies have suggested associations between the consumption of phenolics-rich food and the prevention of many human diseases associated with oxidative stress (2-5). On the basis of their daily intake, which greatly exceeds that of other antioxidants (i.e., vitamin E, vitamin C, β-carotene), phenolic compounds may be a major factor in assuring the antioxidant potential of the diet and may contribute to maintaining the endogeneous redox balance in humans.<ref name=piafor>Piazzon A, Forte M, Nardini M.
