Abstract

The article focuses on a study investigating the effects of various exercise modalities—yoga, meditation, and physical fitness—on drug craving and oxidative stress-inflammation in women with addiction during rehabilitation. Conducted at Southwest University, the research involved 40 female participants who were assigned to different exercise groups over a 12-week period. Results indicated that participants exhibited elevated oxidative stress and inflammatory markers compared to healthy individuals, but these biomarkers significantly decreased post-intervention in the exercise groups, alongside a marked reduction in drug craving. The study concludes that exercise can effectively promote inflammatory homeostasis and alleviate drug cravings in women with addiction. [Extracted from the article]
