A new study from Japan’s Fujita Health University and published in the journal Scientific Reports suggests that a comfortable 20-minute walk can immediately stimulate your gut motility.
The investigators studied 21 healthy young adults and had them walk on a treadmill for 20 minutes at a comfortable pace. Using an electronic stethoscope to monitor bowel sounds, intestinal activity increases significantly within just one to two minutes after the walk.
Over time following the walk, the bowel sounds become stronger, more frequent, and last longer. Total intestinal sound activity nearly doubles, suggesting that the intestines are contracting more actively.
*Before you turn me off and start walking, there are some caveats. The bowel activation effect is brief and fades within two to three minutes. In addition, this study includes no measurements of actual bowel motility or relief of constipation.
Even so, if you suffer from constipation, know that a comfortable 20-minute walk produces measurable increases in intestinal activity. In addition to consuming fiber and remaining well hydrated, walking may be just the thing to help keep you regular. In any event, this type of exercise is good for all that ails you.
