Rubbing the abdomen to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract can make the stool unobstructed and the stagnation in the intestine can be discharged in time. It can remove toxins that cause diseases, affect health and promote aging, which is beneficial to fitness and longevity. The ancients said well: the intestines are always clear, so you can live forever.
Rubbing the abdomen also helps to eliminate stagnation and eliminate toxins in the body. In the process of human evolution, from crawling on all fours to walking upright, from a mechanical point of view, internal organs are prone to droop. With the increase of age, the large intestine and small intestine gradually lose their elasticity, or form folds, or twist and relax. When the large intestine becomes slack, a large number of folds will be formed on the intestinal wall, and the folds will become pocket-shaped nests (diverticula), where feces will accumulate and often form stools. Because the stool is in the diverticulum, it is not easy to be discharged under normal circumstances, and it accumulates in the intestine, causing spoilage and fermentation. Harmful substances are absorbed into the blood through the large intestine wall, which will cause various diseases. Therefore, even in the case of normal defecation, attention should still be paid to eliminating defecation and stagnation.

Rubbing the abdomen stimulates the abdomen through various techniques, which can promote innovation and not make it stay. Removing toxins accumulated in the body will make the metabolism more vigorous and the body more energetic, which is of great benefit to preventing and treating diseases and prolonging life.
