Usually, the 'intestinal age' of healthy people is basically the same as the physiological age, not much difference. However, due to the unhealthy way of life, many people with 'intestinal age' soon degrade to varying degrees.

Civil servants often work 5-6 hours, face mental stress (stress), greatly affect the function of contraction, digestion, absorption of the intestinal tract; gradually develop constipation, even hemorrhoids. The elderly are due to the function of the visceral organs degraded, the blood is inadequate, the intestinal tract is not wet, easily leading to constipation.

Exercise can enhance intestinal peristalsis, accompanied by breathing with abstinence, reducing constipation. People who sit for a long time, 1-2 hours should stand up and work for a moment, can also carry out the massage method below:

Sit and massage your abdomen

The left arm against the waist (the first thumb, the other 4 fingers behind), the right hand from the centrifugal navel area around many rings (with the upper limit is the stomach, lower limit is the pubic bone), starting rub down to the left, through the lower abdomen, right abdomen and return to the stomach area once, all rubbing 36 times.

After that, the right hand is against the waist, the left hand rubs 36 times, on the contrary, rubs the circle from outside to inside, the center is the navel. It is also possible to massage the supine position (one hand does not support the waist anymore). When rubbing, relaxing naturally, moderate and moderate, when too full, too hungry, tired or unstable emotions, you should not perform massage.

Persistence of long-term abdominal massage can enhance gastrointestinal function, promote intestinal motility, prevent constipation and cancer. It may be more effective to have two hands overlapping each other.

Breathe with your belly

When inhaled into the lower abdomen (upper abdomen also swells up), when the lower abdomen expands gradually in a way: rub - inhale; rub down - exhale. It can be practiced when walking, standing, lying, sitting, anytime, anywhere.

The above breathing method acts as an internal massage, enhances the intestinal motility, prevents digestive disorders and constipation. Abdominal and breathing methods should be combined.

After eating, do not move immediately, have to wait at least 1 hour. The exercise after eating increases the burden on the stomach, making food more difficult to digest.
