8 kinds of exercise can "cure" diseases, and they are effective in one move!

Constipation, diarrhea, bloating...When you encounter discomfort, the first thing you think of is to seek help from medicine? In fact, from the perspective of exercise physiology, reasonable exercise is effective in improving digestive function.

Constipation: Brisk walking

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.

Bloating: sit-ups

Sit-ups are a simple and effective form of exercise that not only builds firm abdominal muscles and burns abdominal fat, but also helps improve digestive function, prevent and relieve problems such as abdominal bloating, stomach fullness, constipation and other gastrointestinal motility problems.

Stomach pain: Elevate your feet

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 your mat 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: Scoliosis

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: Twisting the 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.

Reminder: The above movements are best practiced on an empty stomach, and make sure your body has enough water during exercise.
