Russian Scientists Proved that Stomach Ulcer Can Be Treated by Running

Running has a positive impact on the condition of your stomach. This fact has been proved by the scientists from Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, tvbrics.com correspondent reports with the reference to TASS.

Investigating this subject, experts made multistage experiments. They found out that running with specific intensity can revitalize stomach flora. According to physicians, it is all about production and ejection of specific glucocorticoid hormonesformed during stress.

"Ulcer appears for two reasons–because of stress or as a result of influence of indometacin which, on the one hand, anesthetizes, but on the other hand, it destroys the mucous membrane of a stomach", the head of the research Lyudmila Filaretova explained.

The stress caused by jogging can have therapeutic effect, but only if the ulcer developed not as a result of stress, but, for example, because of medication intake. If the erosion of stomachsoft tissues is caused by stress, the patient is allowed to run only lightly, not quickly. As a result, unhurriedbut regular trainings canslow down stomach ulceration.

The theory was tested on mice. Laboratory animals with erosion of stomach tissues wereput on the racetrack, which forced them to run compulsorily. As a result, experts found correlation between running and stomach conditionin rodents.
