Gastrointestinal regulation can have a positive impact on maintaining digestive health. The following measures may help improve gastrointestinal function: 1. Balanced Diet: Maintain a well-balanced diet and increase intake of fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to promote intestinal motility. Reduce consumption of high-fat, high-sugar, and irritating foods, such as fried foods, coffee, and spicy dishes, to avoid gastrointestinal irritation. 2. Regular Routine: Maintain consistent meal times and avoid overeating or prolonged fasting. Eating at regular intervals helps ensure proper gastrointestinal function and reduces discomfort and digestive problems. 3. Moderate Exercise: Engage in appropriate physical activities, such as walking or jogging, which can help promote gastrointestinal blood circulation, enhance intestinal motility, and improve digestion and bowel movements. If symptoms do not improve or if persistent abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or other issues occur, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
