A glass of cold beer with a meal has 150 calories

In the hot summer, many men like to have a glass of cold beer while eating. However, according to research, a 330ml can of beer contains about 150 calories, of which Taiwan Beer has about 120 calories, Heineken Beer has about 147 calories, and Kirin Draft Beer has about 151 calories. In the long run, it will not only harm your body, but also cause a "beer belly".

According to the "Alcohol Calorie Table" analysis by Dai Xuzhi, assistant professor of the Department of Sports and Health Promotion at Chinese Culture University, the average calorie content of a 330ml can of beer is about 150 calories, of which Taiwan Beer has about 120 calories, Heineken Beer has about 147 calories, and Kirin Draft Beer has about 151 calories.

If we calculate based on a dinner party, each person drinks at least 2 cans of beer, and people with good alcohol tolerance may drink at least 5 cans of beer in one day due to continued drinking. The accumulated calories exceed more than half of the daily requirement of adults, which can easily cause obesity. To burn off the calories in a can of beer, you need to ride a bike for 45 minutes or play badminton for 30 minutes. You can also eliminate the calories by taking a more relaxed walk.

Huang Meina, director of the Taichung Municipal Government's Health Bureau, said that if people drink a can of beer a day and do not exercise, they will gain 1 kilogram in 50 consecutive days. In order to prevent people from getting entangled with beer bellies, it is recommended that they take a few walks in Taichung Metropolitan Park to easily get rid of their beer bellies and promote health. The "Five-Finger Trail" on the west side of Taichung Metropolitan Park is a flat trail with a total length of about 3.6 kilometers. Along the way, you can overlook the scenery of Taichung Harbor and the beautiful sunset. One trip can burn about 150 calories. The "Three-Finger Trail" on the east side is shorter, so you must walk it three times to burn the calories of a can of beer.

A "Family Walking Fun" event will be held at Taichung Metropolitan Park tomorrow, the 18th, inviting everyone to join in the walk and get rid of their beer belly.
