What are the best exercises for stomach problems

In many cases, stomach problems are caused by slowed gastrointestinal motility. A good way to increase gastrointestinal function and restore the digestive system's capacity is to exercise. Exercise can promote the secretion of digestive juices, speed up gastrointestinal motility and absorption function, and increase the capacity of the lungs. Exercise can also strengthen the activity of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles, which also has a certain effect on the stomach. It can speed up blood circulation and increase the stomach's defense system. Especially patients with gastric ulcers need appropriate exercise.

Exercise improves digestion

Physical exercise can also enhance the strength of muscles throughout the body, including the abdominal muscles and smooth muscles of the digestive tract, which helps the digestive organs stay in their normal position. Therefore, physical exercise is also an important means of treating visceral prolapse.

Exercise therapy for patients with gastric disease

As an effective auxiliary therapy, patients with stomach problems can participate in sports including: Qigong, Tai Chi, walking, jogging, cycling, etc.

During the exercise process, the amount of exercise should be gradually increased, from little to more, and persist for a long time. For example, you can adopt a slow, whole-body relaxing walking style for 20 to 30 minutes each time, and control your exercise pulse at around 110 beats per minute. You can choose to walk about 2 kilometers in a scenic environment, which helps regulate the central nervous system, improve the whole body and gastrointestinal function, and has a certain effect on eliminating abdominal distension, belching, and promoting ulcer healing. As the condition improves, you can increase the amount of exercise appropriately, and the pulse rate during exercise can reach about 130 to 140 beats per minute. It is best to exercise for 20 to 40 minutes every day.

People with acute gastroenteritis, gastric bleeding, and abdominal pain should not participate in exercise. They should wait until their condition recovers or improves before engaging in appropriate exercise.

People who suffer from stomach pain should not only pay attention to diet and health, but also develop exercise habits, and try to exercise 2-3 days a week. Because exercise can promote blood circulation, improve metabolism, help gastrointestinal motility, increase strength, eliminate mental stress, etc., some exercise postures can also prevent stomach discomfort.

Internal nourishment exercises to regulate qi and blood

Medical research in recent years has found that some psychological and environmental factors can also cause stomach discomfort. Experts suggest that Nei Yang Qi exercises have a certain therapeutic effect on chronic gastric disease and psychological stomach discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that: "Worry can damage the lungs, anger can damage the liver, depression can damage the blood, resentment can damage the spleen, excessive thinking can damage the stomach, and indulgence can damage the kidneys." Internal nourishment means regulating the mind and maintaining a good state of mind, mainly through methods such as regulating breathing and focusing the mind, to adjust the breathing so that it gradually becomes slow, fine, deep and long, so that the cerebral cortex can play its regulatory role on the internal body, strengthen the gastrointestinal digestive function, and promote the gradual recovery of the disease.
