6 Exclusive Workout For Bloating and Digestion in 6 Minutes

Ever note that your stomach is bothering you after getting a meal and plopping onto the couch immediately? This is because you need some movement

Ever note that your stomach is bothering you after getting a meal and plopping onto the couch immediately? This is because you need some movement in your digestive system. (No, not a poop joke, but that would have been it!)

When you are not careful about your digestive system, you may experience low levels of energy and pain. These symptoms can lead to stress themselves and poor health in the gut.

Resist the urge to veg out after dinner immediately and try going after your meal for a walk. Try walking or using public transport if you're going out to eat and you have to travel more than if you've driven right out front. Do you have a home-cooked meal? Then afterward try going for a walk around the block.

If you can't go for a walk or it just doesn't work, then try these six digestion exercises you can do in just six minutes.
