Regular iron-clad dedication to exercise cures many ills. For me, exercise kills my appetite for garbage food, cures me of snaking. The "feel good" hormones - endorphin, seratonin, oxytocin, dopamine - are released during exercise, and continue long after you are done exercising. These hormones life you out of a depressed mood or level out a too high mood and de-stresses and de-anxieties people. Those times are when one wants to drink, eat, smoke, whatever. Not everyone, maybe, but a lot of people start with bad behaviors when stressed or anxious. So exercise helps you level out your mood and prevents stress eating, stress smoking, stress drinking.
