Body movements, says Wood, stimulate peristalsis. “This means that the more we move, walk, stretch or exercise, the stronger and more effectively that our gut squeezes,” he explains.

The gastrocolic reflex or gastrocolic response is a physiological reflex that controls the motility, or peristalsis, of the gastrointestinal tract following a meal. It involves an increase in motility of the colon consisting primarily of giant migrating contractions, in response to stretch in the stomach following ingestion and byproducts of digestion entering the small intestine.

Peristalsis (/ ˌ p ɛr ɪ ˈ s t æ l s ɪ s / PERR-ih-STAL-siss, US also /-ˈ s t ɔː l-/- STAWL-) [1] is a type of intestinal motility, characterized by radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagate in a wave down a tube, in an anterograde direction. Peristalsis is progression of coordinated contraction of ...
In addition to stimulating your gastrointestinal tract, "coffee's natural acidity may increase stomach acid production, further aiding in digestion," says Manaker. RELATED: 7 Supplements To Help ...
Vagus nerve fibers from the medulla stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system of the stomach which, in turn, stimulates gastric secretion (via parietal and G cells). [1] This enhanced secretory activity brought on by the thought or sight of food is a conditioned reflex. It only occurs when food is desired.
Engaging in activities that stimulate your brain can help curb these issues. "Much like muscle and that old saying 'if you don’t use it, you lose it,' using your brain can help protect it, to an ...
Its role in the intestine is to greatly stimulate secretion of water and electrolytes, [12] as well as relaxation of enteric smooth muscle, dilating peripheral blood vessels, stimulating pancreatic bicarbonate secretion, and inhibiting gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion. These effects work together to increase motility. [13]
