How to promote gastrointestinal digestion

In daily life, indigestion is inevitable. There are many reasons for indigestion, such as overeating, eating too much greasy meat and fish, or eating too fast, etc. Of course, weak spleen and stomach can also easily lead to indigestion. In addition, if there are some liver and gallbladder diseases, it will often lead to some manifestations of indigestion. Let us learn how to promote gastrointestinal digestion.

How to promote gastrointestinal digestion

1. Kneeling forward

Place a yoga mat on the ground, then kneel on it, making sure your knees and toes are touching the ground.

Keep your upper body upright, let your hands hang naturally, and sit down slowly until your entire weight is completely on your ankles.

Then place your hands naturally on your knees and keep breathing normally. After holding the pose for 30 seconds, relax and lean your upper body forward.

Repeat the action 3 to 5 times. It will help eliminate bloating, relieve gastrointestinal cramps, diarrhea and other problems, and also strengthen the thigh muscles.

2. Push-ups

Place a yoga mat on the bed or floor, lie prone, relax your whole body, touch your forehead to the ground, stretch your legs, bend your hands and place them at shoulder level, with your elbows close to your body and your palms facing down. Support yourself with your hands, and lift your head and chest, keeping your legs still on the ground, until you feel your chest and abdomen fully expanded.

Hold for about 10 seconds, then repeat the action 3 to 5 times. It can relieve bloating and constipation to a certain extent, and can also exercise the back muscles and correct the spine.

3. Standing with bent knees

Stand with your feet naturally apart and shoulder-width apart, place your hands lightly on your knees, bend your body slightly forward, take a deep breath, and then slowly contract your abdominal muscles while exhaling.

Let your abdominal muscles become concave, and be careful not to force yourself, so that you don't feel uncomfortable.

Hold for 5 to 20 seconds, expel the gas from your lungs and relax your muscles. Repeat the action 4 to 7 times to effectively relieve indigestion and constipation.

4. Abdominal massage

Sit on a chair, put your left hand on your right hand, inhale, straighten your chest, push your upper body forward, and lean back slightly; exhale, shrink your chest, bend over, and press your hands hard into your abdomen.

Do it 20 to 30 times each time, and exercise according to your ability. Cooperate with abdominal muscle contraction to massage the stomach and intestines in the abdomen to promote gastrointestinal function.

You can also overlap your hands to cover your navel, and massage your abdomen 100 to 200 times by rotating up and down and left and right.

5. Gargle and swallow saliva

Close your mouth and use your tongue to stir up and down along the edge of your teeth 12 times each. Then close your mouth and puff out your cheeks, gargle, and when your mouth is full of saliva, swallow it slowly.

6. Calf Pinch

Use your hands to pinch the muscles on the inside of your calf, with your thumb and four fingers facing each other, and press and pinch with a little force until you feel a strong sense of soreness.

First press from top to bottom, then press from bottom to top, 15 to 30 times each is appropriate, and you can do it 1 to 3 times a day.
