Summary
New research suggests that moderate beer consumption could be beneficial for gut health, similar to probiotics. Beer contains bacteria that boost the intestinal microbiome and anti-inflammatory polyphenols that combat various health issues. Popcorn, often considered a junk food, is actually rich in fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants.

Homemade pizza, especially with unrefined flour and fresh toppings, can be a nutritious way to enjoy this classic dish.
