What kind of exercise can help digestion after a meal?

Recently, many people have suffered from indigestion, which is very uncomfortable. Many people take some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to help us alleviate the indigestion. Taking medicine will bring side effects to our body. We can do some exercise to digest, which is very effective. Let us find out what kind of exercise after a meal can help digestion.

Don't do strenuous exercise after a meal, but you can do some activities that are good for digestion:

1. Enjoy music after dinner. Soft and cheerful music, or even a pleasant environment, can serve as a benign stimulus to regulate the body's digestion and absorption functions through the central nervous system. Therefore, enjoying soft, bright, beautiful and moving music after eating is of great benefit to the human body.

2. Massage your abdomen after meals. After a meal, gently massage your abdomen with warm hands, from top to bottom, from left to right, or in a clockwise direction, using your palms to circle and massage. This can promote blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and enhance gastrointestinal digestion function.

3. Walk slowly after meals. Taking a slow walk after a meal is extremely beneficial for food digestion and human rest.

4. Rinse your mouth after meals. Rinsing your mouth after a meal can promptly remove food debris from your mouth.

5. People often say: "Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and you can live to be ninety-nine." In fact, this statement is not very scientific. From the perspective of digestive physiological function, the stomach is in a full state after a meal, and at this time it is necessary to ensure that the gastrointestinal tract has sufficient blood supply for initial digestion. Taking a proper rest after a meal can ensure that the gastrointestinal tract gets more blood supply. According to recent research by brain physiology experts, for some people, "feeling full" simply means that the stomach feels full, but the nutrients are not absorbed into the body, and the body is still in a "hungry" state. If you get up and walk away in a hurry at this time, some of the blood will inevitably be concentrated in the motor system, which will delay the secretion of digestive juices, disrupt the normal digestion of the stomach, and easily induce functional indigestion. Therefore, “walking a hundred steps after a meal” is not suitable for everyone. It is only suitable for people who are less active in daily life, especially those who work at a desk for a long time. It is also suitable for people who are overweight or have excessive stomach acid. If these people take a 20-minute walk after a meal, it will help promote gastrointestinal motility, secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juices and digestion and absorption of food, which is beneficial to their health.

Exercise is a good way to help digestion. What kind of exercise after a meal can help digestion requires each of us to pay great attention to it. Try not to cause unnecessary harm to our body due to indigestion. I hope the above exercises can help everyone solve the indigestion problem.
