If you live a relatively inactive life and choose not to exercise, but enjoy drinking alcohol, you may be increasing your risk of cancer.
According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, basic levels of weekly exercise could decrease the risks of dying from cancer and other illnesses.
The research was conducted by The University of Sydney, University College London and the University of Montreal.
Researchers surveyed more than 36,000 adults over the age of 40 and looked at responses from people in the UK that focused on the effect of physical inactivity and risk of dying from cancer and other illnesses.
Researchers emphasized that these findings were not a licence to drink more alcohol because abuse of alcohol causes significant health damage. Find out more http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-08/weekly-exercise-may-offset-effects-of-alcohol-study/7824486
We’ve all either experienced it or witnessed it, the ability of alcohol to “loosen people up” and make them more sociable and outgoing.
Although we’ve always known that alcohol is a social lubricant, Swiss researchers are among the first to actually prove this hypothesis in a study.
Researchers from University Hospital in Basel conducted the test on 60 healthy people, both men and women by giving them alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer.
They then did a series of tests including a sexual arousal test, empathy test and recognition tests.
The lead researcher, Professor Matthias Liechti explained that the desire to be with others, in a happy, talkative environment was higher in the group which drank the alcoholic beer.
Researchers also found that women showed the greatest change in behavior and those with higher initial inhibitions showed the greatest tendency to loosen up after a drink.

According to a recent study an enzyme in the brain may be responsible for our ability to resist alcohol or our alcohol dependency.
Researchers say the enzyme may also decrease with increased use of alcohol.
The new study conducted on rats, showed that the enzyme Prdm2 found in the brain’s frontal lobes, had an impact on the subjects’ impulse control. So even when the experience was unpleasant, they wanted to consume more and more alcohol.
While the study does prove what scientists have long suspected, that brain activity in the frontal lobes was linked to alcohol dependency, the study is the first concrete evidence of the specific chemical process linked to alcohol dependency.
