Three actions to promote gastrointestinal motility

If you have a bad stomach, you won’t feel happy no matter what you eat. Some people are born with slow gastrointestinal motility, so they often experience symptoms of bloating and bloating. In addition to adjusting your diet, gastrointestinal problems also require some exercise to help increase gastrointestinal motility. Here are three movements that can promote gastrointestinal motility and help promote blood circulation to achieve the purpose of physical exercise. If you need it, learn them quickly.

1. Promote blood circulation

When blood flow slows down, gastrointestinal motility also decreases, causing waste to accumulate in the intestines. So get up and start exercising (especially exercises that actively use your abdominal muscles) to promote blood circulation!

2. Strengthen abdominal muscles

One of the reasons for decreased bowel activity is that the organs are not in the right place. Insufficient abdominal muscle strength may cause the intestines to shift position, and the gastrointestinal function may not function properly.

3. Adjust the pelvic position

The pelvis supports our internal organs including the intestines, and the pelvic floor has pelvic floor muscles. During normal bowel movements, the pelvic floor muscles relax unconsciously and waste is excreted.

4. Training to promote gastrointestinal motility

The three sets of movements can be performed anytime, anywhere and in different situations.

1. During a break at work: walk and wave your hands

a. One foot steps forward and hangs in the air, while the other foot keeps balance.

b. In the same position as a., swing your arms alternately left and right 10 times.

c. Change feet and repeat steps a. and b. (The above movements are one set, and three sets are the principle for each exercise.)

2. When watching TV at home : stepping on the chair

a. Sit lightly on a chair with your feet on the floor, your back straight, and your arms crossed in front of your chest.

b. Maintain the position of a. with your upper body, and step left and right 10 times. (The above movements are one set, and three sets are the principle for each exercise.)

3. Before you go to sleep: do a mid-air bicycle

a. Lie on your back in bed with your arms at your sides and your upper body still.

b. Maintain the posture of a. and lift your feet up, moving them in the air like a bicycle, alternating left and right 10 times. (The above movements are one set, and three sets are the principle for each exercise.)
