Aerobic exercise known to slow cognitive decline may also prevent or repair damage to the brain caused by alcohol. According to a recent study, aerobics, may protect white matter in the brain from alcohol-related damage.
Heavy long-term alcohol consumption leads to neutral damage similar to the decline in neurocognitive functioning observed as people age. As exercise is protective against some of the neutral and cognitive effects of ageing, it also reverse or prevents the damage to the brain caused by chronic alcohol consumption. The relationship between Alcohol and white matter depends upon how much people exercise- for individuals with low levels of aerobics, heavy drinking is linked tom poorer white matter health, but for those with greater exercise involvement, the relationship between alcohol and white matter health is not as strong.
