Joe Rogan has joined the growing tribe or Tetetotalers.
In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience”, the 57 -year -old Podcaster said he has stopped drinking alcohol.
“I think I’ve finished,” he said. “Without any reason, apart from that, it is not good for you.”
Rogan said he had to quit smoking and heard it, but that the days after the drink were “too rough.”
“And I say,” What son of a fool who takes care of his body is poisoning a couple of days a week for fun? “” Why am I doing that? “
Rogan, who is also an UFC commentator, said he wondered: “Will I still have the same amount of fun if I did not get me into myself?”
“It turns out yes,” he said
Other celebrities that have been open about their alcohol cessation include Brad Pitt, Rob Lowe, Valerie Bertinelli, Bradley Cooper and Elle Macpherson.
Leaving alcohol can be one of the most shocking and modifiable risk factors for age -related disease and obesity, only surpassed by leaving tobacco, according to Dr. Ir. Brett Osborn, Florida neurologist and longevity expert.
“Alcohol is a neurotoxin that interrupts neurotransmission, promotes neurinoflamatory and has been directly related to a greater risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia,” Digital Fox News told Fox News.
It also damages the body, he warned, harming the metabolism of glucose and interfering with the regulation of blood sugar.
“It contributes to metabolic dysfunction and the accumulation of visceral fat and increases the hood of type 2 diabetes,” he said.
“Long and short: alcohol fattened you. It is a source of excess unnecessary calories.”
Studies have also shown that alcohol is a carcinogen, associated with high liver rates, breast, esófea, colon and head/neck cancers, even with low levels of consumption, nuts Osborn.
“When some stop drinking, the benefits are immediate and deep,” he said.
“The dream improves in a matter of days, energy levels recover, inflammatory subsidies, the joints no longer hurt and insulin sensitivity returns.”
After alcohol is exhausted, which is a depressive, people generally have a new motivation to exercise and pursue other healthy habits, the doctor added.
GLP-1 agonists, such as Ozempic and Wogovy, which were originally developed for type 2 diabetes and are now being used for weight loss, also show early promises to help people reduce alcohol intake.
“My patients in these medications not only notice significant suppression of appetite, but their ‘thirst’ of alcohol is drastically attenuated,” Osborn said. “Most stop drinking completely within six to 12 months.”
The neurosurgeon predicts that these medications can soon be part of a double approach strategy: “facilitating alcohol abstinence while promoting fat loss and improves simultaneously and improves the metabolic health of a person, thus reducing their ini -infection all investment.
“Remember, we no longer die or tuberculosis or plague, but ‘man -made’ diseases, some of which begin in the still.”
Fox News Digital contacted Joe Rogan to comment.
