Taking medicine to treat stomach problems is harmful, you might as well try exercise therapy

Chronic gastritis is a very common digestive system disease, which usually causes symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain, heartburn, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and belching. Since dietary factors account for a large proportion of the causes of chronic gastritis, good eating habits are very important for preventing and treating gastritis. In addition, exercise therapy can relieve symptoms.

Five kinds of exercise can relieve chronic gastritis

1. Abdominal massage

Stand upright with your feet slightly apart and your eyes looking forward. Place the palm of your left hand on your navel, and your right palm on the back of your left hand. Overlap your palms and massage your abdomen in a counterclockwise direction to the left, up, right, and down. Then switch hands, place the palm of your right hand on your navel, and press your left palm on the back of your right hand. Overlap your palms and massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction to the left, downward, right, and upward. When massaging, you can lightly close your eyes and count silently to 36 times.

2. Shoulder Shake

Stand upright with your feet slightly apart. Raise your hands to shoulder level. Shake your shoulders from front to back, while spreading your palms. Do this 20 times.

3. Rescuing a frightened horse

The body is upright with feet slightly apart. The arms are raised to shoulder level. Then the arms are tilted to one side. The head and upper body are turned accordingly. The hands are exerted forward and upward, as if trying to hold back a frightened horse. Hold this position for 15 seconds, then switch hands and repeat the same movement to the other side, 20 times on each side.

4. Forward bend touch

Stand upright with your arms hanging naturally at your sides and your eyes looking forward. Step left foot shoulder-width apart and raise arms to the sides with palms facing down. Bend over and touch the left foot with the fingertips of your right hand while raising your left arm. Then, touch the right foot with the fingertips of your left hand while raising your right arm. Do 20 times with each hand.
