What is the relationship between stomach troubles and stress? .. A Swiss psychiatrist answered

Swiss psychiatrist Gregor Hasler said that the abdomen and the head affect each other, through nerves and hormones.

He explained that in situations of tension, the brain “suffocates” the flow of blood in the digestive system, which negatively affects the digestive process, and then one suffers from some troubles such as feeling pressure in the stomach, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

vice versa;

The digestive system, which is healthy, positively affects the brain.

Here, the vagus nerve, also known as the vagus nerve, plays an important role: if the digestion process is properly performed, the nerve is stimulated positively, which in turn calms the nerve cells in the brain.

In addition, the results of recent scientific studies have concluded that healthy gut bacteria have a positive effect on the psyche.

To maintain the health of the digestive system and brain, Hasler advises following a healthy and balanced diet based on increasing fresh vegetables and fruits and whole grains with less sugar, salt and fats and avoiding fast food.

It is also important to adhere to the dates of the main meals and to continue practicing motor activities at a rate of between half an hour and an hour per day, in addition to combating psychological tension through the practice of relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation.
