Need A Solution For Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Get The Runs!
Posted On January 13, 2011
I love this result.
For those who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, there is a non-drug solution … it’s called running/walking.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS or spastic colon) is a pain in the … you know where. In fact, it can include intense stomach pain, bloating, and either too much movement (diarrhea) or too little (constipation).
Nice.
There is no cure, but there are things that can alleviate your symptoms or prevent it from happening in the first place. That’s where this study result comes in.
Here’s what they did
Researchers had told participants of this study to get 20 to 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise — like brisk walking or biking — on three to five days out of the week.
102 adults with the disorder found that those who were told to get more exercise had better odds of seeing improvements in problems like cramps, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
Even better, after three months, a full 43 percent of the exercisers showed a “clinically significant” improvement in their symptoms — meaning it was making a difference in their daily lives. That compared with a quarter of the participants who maintained their normal lifestyle. This even helps when you add moderate increases in exercise: it can help curb irritable bowel symptoms, according to senior researcher Dr. Riadh Sadik, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
So go move!! It helps everything from your heart to your mind to your guts!!
