What are the most expensive tequilas in the world? A shot of tequila a day definitely blows the doctor away. Yes, folks, tequila has health benefits too. Tequila is made out of the honey water from the plant named Blue Agave. This is where it gets its medicinal values. Taking a shot of tequila kindles our appetite just before we eat so we can digest that heavy lunch easily. Another major health benefit of drinking tequila is that it aids in lowering cholesterol in the body. It flushes down the bad cholesterol and alleviate the minor headache you are complaining about whenever you have a high-blood pressure. Oh, just a reminder here, we don’t recommend drinking tequila if you are experiencing a mind-breaking migraine. No one has ever suggested that before.
What’s the best contribution of tequila aside from the health benefits it offers? Well, it makes every party alive in a Mexican way! A party is not complete without the legendary help of tequila. For many years, USA have been the number 1 consumer of tequila in the world. And having at least a bottle or two of tequila in a household is somehow, had become mandatory in the states. Of course, we’re kidding. But if you want to know if that’s true, please check your pantry room. Or head to the least opened kitchen cabinet.
Tequila makes us smarter. Or at least, if you have the extreme guts to take down a bottle of this classy drink, then no one would ever want to face you in a debate. You’re the winner. Tequila, for the win!
