Benefits of daily sit-ups

Gastroptosis is a relatively common disease. If this disease is not effectively treated, it will affect one's physical health. Therefore, many patients with gastroptosis want to relieve their gastroptosis by doing sit-ups every day. But can sit-ups every day really relieve gastroptosis? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction of experts.

Experts point out that daily sit-ups can effectively relieve gastroptosis, which refers to the situation in which the greater curvature of the stomach reaches the pelvic cavity when standing upright, while the lowest point of the lesser curvature drops below the line connecting the iliac crests. In mild cases, there may be no obvious symptoms. Severe prolapse may be accompanied by symptoms of low gastrointestinal motility, such as upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, anorexia, nausea, belching and constipation.

There are two main treatments for gastroptosis: surgery and medical treatment. Gastropexy is not very effective, such as folding and suturing to shorten the lesser omentum of the stomach, or passing the round ligament of the liver through the gastric muscle layer and suspending it on the anterior abdominal wall, and now most of them are abandoned.

At present, symptomatic treatment is mainly adopted. Eat small meals frequently and lie down for a while after eating to ensure adequate daily intake of calories and nutrients. Strengthen your abdominal muscles to increase abdominal muscle tone. For patients with obvious symptoms, a gastric support can be placed.

In addition to active medication treatment, patients can improve and alleviate their condition in their daily lives.

Don’t stand for a long time after a meal. Do sit-ups every day.

1. Since most patients have weak constitutions, treatment should start with improving their physical fitness. You should actively participate in physical exercise on a daily basis, with the amount of exercise increasing from small to large. Tai Chi exercise also has a good effect on this disease.

2. Avoid overeating. The food you choose should be nutritious and easy to digest, with high-energy, high-protein, and high-fat foods more than vegetables and fruits to reduce abdominal fat accumulation. In severe cases, you can reduce your food intake, but increase the frequency of meals to reduce the burden on the stomach.

3. Avoid standing for a long time or jumping violently after a meal. For more serious cases, you can lie flat for half an hour.

4. Do sit-ups 2 to 3 times a day, 10 minutes each time.

After understanding the above details, I believe you also understand that sit-ups can treat gastroptosis. Sit-ups can effectively relieve and treat gastroptosis. Therefore, patients with gastroptosis can understand the above content and then use sit-ups and medication to improve their gastroptosis as soon as possible, so that they can make themselves healthier.
