A US study looked at how exercise helps the gut. For their experiment, the researchers divided mice into two groups – one had a running wheel available, the other did not. Compared to the control group, the stool samples of the active rodents contained more good bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids that protect against inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From jogging to swimming: Endurance disciplines are healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Regular jogging, Nordic walking, swimming or long walks in the woods can have a positive effect on the microbiome, i.e. on the microorganisms that colonise the intestines. Especially gentle exercise<\/strong> is ideal; high-performance sports, on the other hand, can trigger stress and thus digestive disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are endurance runs through the forest not your cup of tea? Then try some light gymnastics. Gentle massages and exercises for the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles also stimulate intestinal activity. For example, you can lie on your back and make cycling movements with your legs. Or you can fold your arms behind your head, pull your legs slightly towards your body and rock your head back and forth like a see-saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The advantage: you need little time and no equipment. These exercises are suitable for the home and even the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sport and intestinal flora influence each other in a positive way. In fact, the performance of an athlete depends not only on training, physical condition and psyche, but also on the intestinal bacteria. US researchers have demonstrated this using marathon runners and rowers as examples. Why? Good bacteria<\/a> convert lactates into short-chain fatty acids and these, in turn, increase performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To restore the intestinal flora, a precise analysis of the causes of the imbalance is necessary. With INTEST.<\/strong>pro, BIOMES<\/strong> brings the first complete intestinal flora analysis to the market, which contains individual recommendations for increasing health, well-being and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n INTEST.<\/strong><\/strong>pro is a self-test used to collect a stool sample in a familiar environment, which determines the microbial composition, i.e. the number and distribution of the intestinal bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The balance of the intestinal flora can be supported by taking probiotics or probiotic foods. You can find more information about this on our info page on probiotics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\nMore articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
