Q I get abdominal pain frequently. How should I manage it in daily life?
A Regular mealtimes, eating slowly, avoiding trigger foods, adequate sleep, and stress relief are key. Light aerobic exercise also helps normalize bowel movements.
Detailed Answer
Eating the right amount slowly at regular times is the foundation for stabilizing the rhythm of gastrointestinal movement. It is important to identify foods that trigger your abdominal pain and avoid them, maintain daily water intake of 1.5–2L, and get 7–8 hours of sleep. About 30 minutes of light aerobic exercise like walking or swimming each day activates bowel movement and lowers stress hormones.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine emphasizes eating warm, easily digestible food regularly. Keeping the abdomen warm to prevent the stomach from getting cold, and avoiding overwork and late-night eating are the basic daily guidelines.
