A new study, which is due to be published in the September 2010 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption and activity in hamsters, indicates that exercise might turn out as an efficacious alternative for reducing alcohol intake in humans. Alcohol abuse, marked by routine craving for and intake of alcohol and the inability to function normally without it, can upset the timing and consolidation of daily circadian rhythms - leaving the victim confused about when to sleep, eat, and mate. However, researchers found that hamsters induced into exercising more exhibited a reduced craving for alcohol. This suggests a promising and non-pharmacologic treatment option for alcoholism in humans. That apart, consistent exercise routines can also potentially scale down the risk of cardiovascular disease and mood disorders.
