According to medical experts, while regular exercise is beneficial for the body, excessive or improperly done intense exercise can put pressure on the intestinal system and cause digestive disorders.

Intense exercise diverts most of the body’s blood supply from the stomach to the muscles, which slows down digestion.

Continuous strenuous exercise and physical stress can affect the inner lining of the intestines, causing inflammation.

Symptoms that require immediate attention include severe abdominal cramping or burning, bloating and gas, nausea or vomiting, and extreme fatigue.

According to experts, drink plenty of water during exercise, avoid eating too much immediately after a hard workout and give the body adequate time to recover.
