Benefits of exercise for people who drink alcohol

Experts at Nottingham Trent University (UK) have studied the effects of exercise on people who drink alcohol, especially those who drink alcohol regularly. The research team monitored the health of more than 1,670 people. All were students and had at least experienced headaches and nausea caused by alcohol in the last 3 months.

The students also completed a questionnaire that included their alcohol consumption, body pH levels, and the frequency and severity of headaches and nausea after drinking. The students were also asked to exercise for at least 30 minutes a week.

The study found that the more alcohol a person drank, the more severe their headaches and nausea became. Meanwhile, people who regularly exercised vigorously, such as jogging, had less severe headaches and nausea after drinking than those who did not exercise. Scientists believe that exercising more may help reduce the discomfort caused by alcohol.

The first effect of exercise that needs to be mentioned is that it helps the body stimulate endorphins, a hormone that has a natural pain-relieving effect. Exercise itself helps maintain stable endorphin levels in the body, thereby helping to reduce headaches caused by drinking too much alcohol. Not only that, alcohol often causes difficulty sleeping.. Exercise also helps you sleep better and reduces this effect.

People who exercise regularly have a better metabolism than the average person. A better metabolism means the body can process alcohol better, thereby reducing the feeling of discomfort after drinking alcohol.

Another effect of alcohol on the body is inflammation. Exercise has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can help reduce some of the unpleasant physical effects associated with alcohol.
