What is the impact of stress on the stomach and how to remedy it?

First of all, some explanations on the link between stress and the impact of emotions on the stomach.

A recent INSERM study establishes a close link between stress and digestive disorders. The stress hormone, called cortisol , “acts directly on the plasticity of the intestinal nervous system.” Our digestive system, considered our second brain, contracts under stress. Digestive disturbances linked to emotions can result in a knotted stomach or even acid reflux. 😟

When stress takes over the stomach, tensions and disturbances affect the entire body. Gastric juices flow back up into the esophagus and discomfort from gastric reflux may set in. Intestinal spasms felt like a knife in the stomach are the body's reaction to stress. This discomfort in the pit of the stomach reflects the violent reaction of the nervous system.

In cases of strong anxiety, the activity of the digestive system slows down. It assimilates food less well. If you are constantly stressed, you have surely noticed that your digestion is working poorly or even slowing down. Knots in the stomach and signs of digestive discomfort: does this mean something to you?

This may include discomfort, intestinal spasms, or heartburn . The stomach is damaged by stress and the latter also acts on the intestines and disrupts transit.

The digestive system is a collateral victim of your stress! It is time to react ! 🙅‍♂️
