Exercise isn’t all about the physical. It goes far beyond muscle tone, cardio health and flexibility. Exercise affects your whole
body, including your gut. Many professional athletes show a much more diverse microbiome than their non-exercising counterparts of similar
age and weight.
Moving your body helps stimulate the lymphatic system, the system that helps your body to remove toxins and maintain a healthy
circulation. Other ways to stimulate the lymphatic system include massage and dry brushing, however exercise is highly effective and has
other benefits including boosting mood and cardiovascular health.
Exercise helps gut flora by modulating it and increasing diversity. It helps with detoxification, which increases oxygen levels in the
blood, leading to improved natural energy. This is of great benefit, especially for those suffering from gut issues and trying to
repair their digestion. When the powerful mood boosting effects of exercise meet those of a healthy microbiome, something amazing happens.
We take back our power and realise that feeling good is in our hands.
The problem is that when you’re suffering from digestive distress, it’s not exactly enticing to go to the gym or workout really hard.
Guess what? That is perfectly fine because all that’s really needed is a brisk walk (bonus points if you’re out in nature), a swim or a
bike ride…Just something to get your blood flowing and your heart rate up. The most important thing is simply move daily, and move in a
way that makes you happy and your gut will be happy too.
