Gastroptosis is more common in thin people elderly . For thin elderly people with gastroptosis, they should eat more highly nutritious or fat-containing foods to promote the growth of abdominal wall fat. Because the esophagus of thin elderly people is relaxed and the abdominal muscles are weak, the stomach lacks proper support and falls into the pelvic cavity, causing gastroptosis. If the abdominal wall fat grows, gastroptosis can be reduced and avoided.
The recovery of gastroptosis is mainly based on exercise Focusing on the abdominal muscles, combined with full-body exercises, there are several ways to do abdominal exercises:
For abdominal muscle training, lie on your back, straighten your legs, raise and lower them, repeat several times, and then repeat several times after a short rest. You can also simulate riding a bicycle or doing squats. You can also lie in bed for 20-30 minutes after meals, with your head lowered and your pelvis elevated to move your stomach upward.
Abdominal breathing: the abdomen rises when inhaling and sinks when exhaling, repeated many times.
Massage the abdomen about 10 minutes after physical exercise, lie on your back with your knees bent, and then massage the abdomen with your right hand.
