Manage Your Stress

Your digestive system might suffer greatly from stress. It has been linked to IBS, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach ulcers. Your digestion is strongly impacted by stress hormones.

Your body thinks you don't have time to rest and digest when it is in fight-or-flight mode. Your digestive tract receives less blood flow and energy when you're under stress. What impacts your brain may also have an impact on how well you digest food because your stomach and brain are closely related. It has been demonstrated that stress reduction, meditation, and relaxation training can all help with IBS symptoms. According to other research, yoga, acupuncture, and cognitive behavioral therapy all reduce problems related to the digestive system. As a result, integrating stress reduction strategies like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga may help with both your mindset and digestion.
