Overweight Sports Can Disturb Abdominal Health
Sports regularly and regularly is good for health. But make
sure that exercise does not overload the body is too heavy because it is
believed to interfere with the health of the stomach and gastrointestinal
tract.
Studies conducted by a group of researchers from Australia
called the intensity of exercise that is too heavy can damage the
gastrointestinal tract. This happens because exercise with severe intensity can
damage cells in the gastrointestinal tract, which makes it easy to leak and
release toxins into the blood. As a result, the gastrointestinal tract is more
susceptible to disorders such as constipation and diarrhea, and raises the risk
of other health complications in the future.
Researchers say exercise can damage the digestive tract if
done for 2 hours with a 60% VO2max level. VO2max is the body's maximum capacity
to channel and use oxygen during exercise, which reflects the level of one's
physical fitness. Running is one type of exercise that has a risk of damaging
the gastrointestinal tract. The risk of damage will be greater if the sport is
done in the hot air.
"In general, exercise can improve the function of the
gastrointestinal tract, but if done excessively, exercise actually triggers the
occurrence of damage to the channel and increase the risk of stomach health
problems," said lead researcher Ricardo Costa, quoted by Science Daily.
In the study, published in the journal Alimentary
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, researchers also found solutions for people
with stomach disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel
disease. They are not advised to do strenuous exercise, but moderate exercise
such as walking has good benefits.
"Therefore we recommend a gastrointestinal examination
for athletes and people who regularly exercise to know the level of health of
the stomach in order to avoid complications in the future," he concluded.
