FoundMyFitness | Can exercise replace alcohol cravings? @FoundMyFitness | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
When people exercise as part of a treatment for alcohol abuse disorder it reduces their volume of alcohol consumption. But why? One reason may be FGF21. FGF21 – a hormone produced during vigorous exercise – prevents cravings for alcohol and animal studies suggest it may even be used as a drug to treat excessive alcohol use.

![How Diet & Lifestyle Influence Aging & Brain Function [UCSF Healthy Heart Talk Oct. 2014]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iXglVzXOKYI/hqdefault.jpg "How Diet & Lifestyle Influence Aging & Brain Function [UCSF Healthy Heart Talk Oct. 2014]
Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. discusses how diet can affect DNA damage, a well-known initiator of cancer and dietary changes that can lower DNA damage. She talks about her recent publications on how vitamin D controls serotonin and how this affects brain function and behavior. She also explores the intersection between genetics and environment: how your diet, micronutrients, exercise, and sleep can change the expression of your genes, how this has profound effects on the way your body functions and ages, and how these effects can be passed on to your grandchildren.
