Disease description:

I have a friend who is 25 years old and does more than twenty sit-ups every day in order to achieve a slimmer abdomen. I would like to ask the doctor, what are the benefits of doing sit-ups?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Deng Yao
Hello, 1. Reduce belly fat and groin fat, as sit-ups reduce excess abdominal fat and achieve a flatter stomach by exercising the abdominal muscles and increasing their workload. 2. Enhance the body's disease resistance; regular sit-ups can effectively improve the central nervous system, making joints more flexible, ligaments stronger, and muscles more elastic. 3. Prevent constipation; performing sit-ups with proper breathing can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and facilitate the elimination of bodily waste. I hope my response is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness.
