Reduce Sources Of Stress
When you’re involved in stressful situations, you will often experience a ‘gut-wrenching’ feeling. Stress can affect your digestion, making you undergo nausea or cramping. This is because your brain initiates a fight-or-flight situation, causing your esophagus to go into spasms and acid to increase in your stomach. To reduce your stress triggers, you can try the following:- Saying “no” to requests if you are busy
- Delegating tasks
- Setting realistic goals
- Setting aside time to rest
Exercise 150 Minutes A Week
