I came across a very interesting article that might make you want to your Treadmill Workouts for different reasons. If you have ever partied a little to hard, a study with rats showed that treadmill exercise following alcohol intoxication helped protect the brain against alcohol- induced damage. Rats in the alcohol groups were injected with alcohol and all the rats were injected with a kind of cell found in the hippocampus ( this is the part of the brain that is involved in memory forming, organizing and storing information), this cell can be damaged by alcohol.

The rats that were in the exercise groups had to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes per day for 5 days. When the brains were autopsied, researchers found more signs of cell growth in the exercise groups. The greatest cell proliferation was seen in the exercise/ no alcohol group. While alcohol prohibited cell proliferation showed, exercise following alcohol intoxication induced new cell formation. Not using alcohol is definitely the best way to go, but if that occasion arrives when you have had 1 to many, a treadmill can  help keeping your mind in shape along with the rest of your body.
