    “Why is alcohol addictive?” Goodness, that’s a massive and really important question, isn’t it? And one that I reckon has filled countless medical textbooks and research papers. As just a regular person, I wouldn’t even begin to know the deep science behind it – all that brain chemistry, dopamine, reward pathways, and how alcohol hijacks them. I just know from, well, life and observation, that it can start off as something seemingly harmless, a way to relax or be social, but for some people, it clearly becomes something they can’t easily control, something their body and mind start to crave in a way that can be incredibly destructive. It changes how you feel, and I suppose that change can become something people chase, even when it starts causing more problems than it solves. But the actual “why” – the nitty-gritty of the neurobiology and psychology of addiction – that’s definitely for the experts, the doctors, and the scientists to explain properly. It’s far too complex for a simple answer, and far too serious an issue to rely on guesswork or internet forums for a real understanding.

    simply put, it simulates the reward center of your brain and the brain always wants more rewards, therefor starts asking your body to do it again. it’s not just drugs, sugar is highly addictive in ways you might not imagined.

    Many people use alcohol without ever becoming addicted, while others fall in to alcohol addiction, or alcoholism. This is because alcohol can impact the brain in a way that causes dependence and physical addiction. This combined with a number of factors such as genetic predisposition, social factors, and the way in which alcohol is used can cause addiction

Health and Fitness

Fitness training is in for your body goals. Nutrition hubs offer you dietary guides for a healthier lifestyle. You go through self-discipline. No cheats. Everybody wants this as they say “Health is wealth.”
While some are on a strict diet, there are also a number of people whose imagination is as rich the foods they eat every day; imagining themselves in a Scarlet Johansson or a Channing Tatum body in front of the vanity mirror. Ironically, at the end of the day, they flood your feeds with #foodporn #foodgasm and complain over their fats piling up. Have a well-balanced diet and activities instead of a rich imagination without an act. Health is to fitness as fitness is to health. They’re two inseparable things that go well with lifestyle.
