4. Exercise
If you are looking for the most efficient way to improve your mental and physical health, look no further than exercise. This might be the point where you are tempted to skip to the next page, because you think you have heard this all before or because you are looking for the “quick fix.” But remember, in the world of stress and anxiety, there are no quick fixes. You should beware of anyone offering one.
Instead, the best progress is made with basic principles like exercise. You don’t have to swim across the English Channel or climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. You only need to take a 30-minute walk four times per week. Instead of plopping on the couch to watch a rerun of that show again, you could do something that is actually going to improve your life. For IBS stress relief, exercise is a must.
When it comes to how to treat IBS, you should speak with your doctor about what method of treatment will be most effective for you.
