Use 8 light exercises to relieve physical discomfort

In our daily lives, we often encounter indigestion. At this time, many people choose to take digestive tablets to relieve discomfort. In fact, many times it is unnecessary for people to take medicine, and the symptoms can be completely relieved through some small exercises. Here are some small exercises that can help you relieve physical discomfort.

constipate:

Walk briskly. Constipation is a very common digestive tract problem. Regular aerobic exercise is a "magic medicine" to relieve constipation, such as moderate-intensity brisk walking, cycling, swimming, jogging, etc. The process of aerobic exercise helps stimulate the natural contraction of intestinal muscles, accelerate the excretion of feces, etc.

diarrhea:

Pelvic floor muscle exercises. This exercise, also called "Kegel exercise", can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, prevent bladder and intestinal leakage, and help improve functional diarrhea, fecal incontinence, etc. When urinating, suddenly stop urinating. The muscles you feel exerting force are the pelvic floor muscles. Just repeat the "contract-relax-contract" movement.

Poor appetite:

Take a deep breath. Sit up straight and take slow, deep breaths using your upper abdominal muscles. This action can promote blood circulation in the stomach, regulate the spleen and stomach functions, help improve appetite, promote digestion and absorption, and relieve discomfort such as indigestion and stomach pain caused by emotional factors such as mental stress.

Abdominal bloating:

Sit-ups. Sit-ups are a simple and effective way of exercise. Not only can they shape strong abdominal muscles and burn abdominal fat, they can also help improve digestive function, prevent and relieve problems such as abdominal bloating, stomach fullness, constipation and other gastrointestinal motility problems.

Stomach pain:

Keep your feet elevated. This exercise method uses the "boat pose" in yoga, which can lift the diaphragm and reduce the pressure on the stomach and liver, thereby relieving stomach cramps, upper abdominal pain, etc. Here’s how to do it:

Lie flat on the floor or bed with your knees slightly bent. Using your hips as a fulcrum, lift your upper body and feet off the ground at the same time, making your body form a "V" shape. Maintain this position and take 5 to 7 deep breaths.

Liver Discomfort:

The body bends sideways. This method also originates from the "Triangle Pose" in yoga, which helps to strengthen the waist and back, improve blood supply to the liver area, and regulate liver discomfort. Specific steps: Stand on the ground with your feet apart, bend your body sideways, stretch your right hand down, raise your left hand to the ceiling with your five fingers spread out, and stare at your left hand; then do the same movement on the other side of your body.

indigestion:

Hug your legs forward. Stand on the ground with your feet together, bend your upper body forward as much as possible, stretch your hands down and place them on your calves or hug your calves, and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. This movement allows the internal organs to "turn over" to a large extent, which is equivalent to a "massage" of the digestive organs. It can regulate functional symptoms such as indigestion, acid reflux, and belching.

Chronic inflammation:

Twist your legs. Lie flat on the ground, stretch your arms to the sides, twist and swing your legs and lower body left and right, and repeat about 20 times. This exercise helps promote blood flow to the area where the digestive organs are located, which is very helpful in relieving bloating, pain, and chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
