Hops (Humulus lupulus), a member of the Cannabaceae family, (a relative to Cannabis) is an herb that was traditionally used to provide relaxation, sedation and treat insomnia.
Hops have been used in the beer brewing industry for centuries. They were first discovered way back in the 11th century and have since become a staple in the beer-making business.
The vitamins found in hops include vitamins C, E, and B6. These nutrients have powerful antioxidant properties which can help protect the body from disease, boost the immune system and slow down the body’s aging process.
Stress and Anxiety
Studies have shown that Hops have a sedative effect allowing your body to calm down and relax you. In combination with the relaxing feeling of having a cold non alcoholic beer at the end of the work day. The benefits are two fold.
Improved Sleep
Hops have traditionally been used to help with sleep issues and several studies have analyzed its effectiveness as a sleep aid. Several studies have found that hops were effective in promoting quality sleep and with a better nights sleep the results can be astounding. So many alcohol drinkers do so in an attempt to get a restful sleep, but with the combination of alcohol, it will put you to sleep but alcohol will not allow your body to have a proper sleep. Image a beer that tastes great and leaves you rested and not hung over in the morning. Those two benefits alone will improve your daily heathy lifestyle choices.
Menopause
Studies have shown that Hops have chemicals that act like estrogen. These chemicals have shown to have an improved lifestyle effect in women going through menopause.
A daily intact of hops or hops extract had a beneficial effect on lowering the discomfort of 'hot flashes'.
The benefit here is pretty amazing. Enjoy an non alcoholic beer, get your daily intake of hop and see for yourself if your daily life improves.
