For years, experts have glorified exercise because it offers a multitude of health benefits, including strengthening the heart and bones and averting weight gain. Now, researchers have discovered an additional asset: Physical activity may help prevent drug addiction. New research demonstrates how varying levels of dancing, bicycling, swimming, and tae kwon do influence mood, academic performance, and the systems in the brain that can be affected by drug abuse. One study speculates that exercise may serve as a mild antidepressant and relieve stress, a known risk factor for addiction.
