Study Conclusion: Exercise Reduces Risk of Death from Alcohol Consumption

A study conducted in the UK has shown that regular physical exercise reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease caused by alcohol consumption.

We all know that alcohol consumption affects health. It is advised to consume alcohol in limited quantities or to stay away from it to stay healthy.

The extent to which alcohol consumption affects a person depends on their physical condition, age, their lifestyle, etc. A study conducted in the UK has also shown that the effects of alcohol are reduced in people who exercise regularly.

The study, which was conducted with the aim of finding out whether physical activity reduces the harm caused by drinking alcohol, has been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

This research was conducted on 36,370 people in the UK and Scotland. The study, which was conducted over a few years, also assessed the incidence of cancer and heart disease deaths caused by alcohol consumption.

The people participating in the research were divided into different groups, ranging from non-drinkers to heavy drinkers. In which those who never drank alcohol, those who drank before but have stopped, those who drink only occasionally, those who drink within a certain time limit, those who drink a lot and those who drink excessively were divided into separate groups.

On the other hand, groups were also determined based on physical activity. The study was divided into 3 groups: not at all active, moderately active and very active.

Heavy drinkers were found to have a 40 percent higher risk of death from cancer and heart disease. People who drink alcohol in limited quantities but are not physically active also had a higher risk.

People who also drink alcohol and keep themselves physically active had a lower risk of death from these diseases.

This study concluded that physical activity reduces the risk of alcohol on health.

According to experts, alcohol consumption creates a lot of pressure on the digestive process. It increases 'oxidative stress' in the body. Alcohol also affects the process of digesting fat in the body and plays a role in increasing cholesterol. High blood pressure also increases the risk of heart disease.

The study concluded that physical activity can reduce these risks to some extent.

Although physical exercise reduces the health risks associated with alcohol consumption, the study recommends limiting alcohol consumption and getting regular physical exercise to stay healthy.
