Stress and Digestive Disorders
Impact of Stress on the Gut
Stress affects the digestive system, leading to symptoms like bloating, stomach pain, and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The gut-brain connection plays a major role in stress-related digestive issues. In the U.S., stress is a common trigger for digestive discomfort.
To reduce stress-induced gut problems, practice mindful eating, stay hydrated, and incorporate stress-relieving activities like yoga or meditation. A healthy gut and a calm mind go hand-in-hand.
