Is exercise good for the stomach?

Exercise usually has certain benefits for the stomach, but the prerequisite is moderate exercise.

Moderate exercise can speed up gastrointestinal motility to a certain extent and promote digestion and absorption of food. Because in the process of exercise, the increase in respiratory depth and frequency can make the diaphragm and abdominal muscles get active, which has a certain massage effect on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, exercise can also strengthen the secretion and digestion and absorption of the gastrointestinal tract, which is conducive to improving the function of the digestive system, especially the digestion and absorption of nutrients

. It should be noted that if the exercise is too intense, it may stimulate the rapid contraction of gastrointestinal capillaries, causing gastrointestinal spasm and discomfort, so exercise must be moderate.
