The intense daily life in combination with the pandemic definitely adds extra stress to you and as expected your body reacts. One of the most common victims is your digestive system.
Swelling, bloating, flatulence and many more unpleasant symptoms occur as a result of large meals, insufficient chewing but also due to mental stress.
But by putting exercise into your daily routine, even if it is mild (yoga / pilates / walking), you can optimize the body’s function and reduce the annoying symptoms.
But how can you do that?
Anything that moves our internal organs can help. And the pilates instructor Maria Kokoni, knows the ways and it’s time for you to learn them too!
Diaphragmatic breaths:
Breathing through the diaphragm not only achieves direct movement of the abdominal organs, but also the stimulation of the largest nerve in our body: the pneumogastric nerve. By stimulating it, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, the part of the nervous system that is responsible for relaxation, rehabilitation, as well as for the proper functioning of the digestive system.
In the last minute of the video you can see exactly the breathing technique.
Exercises that involve twisting and / or bending and stretching the torso can relieve the unpleasant symptoms and promote proper bowel function.
1. Exercise for Diaphragm and Transverse
- Inhalation: you fill the perimeter of the trunk with air, the abdomen swells.
- Exhale: pull the navel towards the spine.
2. Chest turns
- You hold the pelvis steady, you inhale.
- You twist the trunk while exhaling. You repeat from the other side.
3. Knees side to side
- You lie down, arms open to the side and legs bent in the air, you inhale.
- You let the knees tilt to the side allowing the pelvis to follow with exhalation.
- You keep the upper part of the trunk stable.
