Scientists have just revealed that a shot for two of tequila is actually good for you.
This is because the alcoholic beverage is a probiotic, which helps to maintain healthy bacteria in your gut.
It contains fructans – which is a molecule that occurs in asparagus and artichokes – that acts as a fibre that naturally stimulates the production of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone which is made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy.
Tequila also lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, as it contains agave, which is a sugar that comes from leaves, as it triggers the insulin production into the blood stream.
And when you’re taking medication, tequila will help to protect the painkillers from stomach acid.
A cheeky shot will also elevate your mood, and unlike other drinks Tequila is said to be a stimulant rather than a depressant.
If you’re trying to keep fit, it also contains less calories – so don’t be worried if it’ll ruin those abs.
So next time you’re on a bender with your pals, opt for a tequila shot.
