Do you often feel uncomfortable because your stomach hurts?

Digestive problems can impair the quality of life immensely.

A simple measure often brings relief.

Then you are one of those who are prone to digestive problems.

Flatulence, a feeling of fullness, diarrhea or constipation: problems affecting the gastrointestinal tract can have a huge impact on the quality of life.

However, in most cases, digestive problems can be curbed with lifestyle changes.

Often it is simple and easy to implement routines that make a big difference.

The key is usually more movement.

But you don't have to be on your feet all day to prevent digestive problems.

The tried and tested digestive walk often helps.

Ten minute walk after each meal

Walk around the block after breakfast, lunch and dinner: If you let digestive walks become a routine, you will soon be able to look forward to regular digestion.

Because exercise means that food is digested faster and does not sit in the gastrointestinal tract for too long.

Fermentation processes that promote flatulence can be prevented in this way.

"In order for the stomach to be able to digest food, it has to produce gastric acid -

and exercise can stimulate this acid production,

" explains Antje Gahl, spokeswoman for the German Society for Nutrition (DGE), to the editorial network Germany.

It's often the simplest things that make the difference.

A digestive walk can do even more.

This should also have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

This increases after eating and can remain elevated for a long time if you are not moving.

According to a study published in the journal Diabetologia, it is particularly advisable for diabetics to go for a walk after eating

.

Researchers led by Andrew N. Reynolds from the New Zealand University of Otago have found that a ten-minute walk after each main meal has a positive effect on the blood sugar level in type 2 diabetics.

41 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus took part in the study.

"The benefits of post-meal exercise suggest that current guidelines should be amended to require post-meal exercise, particularly when meals contain large amounts of carbohydrate," the researchers recommend.
