Why is it easy to get gas while working?

✔ Influence of tension and autonomic nervous system

While working,

• Evaluated
• Cannot make mistakes
• Must be quiet

It causes psychological stress.

This tension disturbs the autonomic nervous system and
makes intestinal movements unstable.

---

✔ Sedentary posture

If you sit for a long time,

• Compression of the intestines
• Gas becomes difficult to move

As a result,
you will feel more bloated in your stomach.

---

✔ Breathing tends to be shallow

Unconsciously while working

• Shallow breathing
• Morning mouth
• Eating fast

and becomes
easier to swallow air.

✔ ② Move your ankles and heels

Even in situations where you can’t stand up,

• Move your heels up and down
• Rotate the ankle

Only
will slightly improve blood flow to the intestines.

This is a workaround that can be done
out of sight even during a meeting.

✔ ③ Change your posture “slightly”

Hunched back posture
puts pressure on your stomach.

• Stretch your back slightly
• Image of raising the pelvis

This alone may relieve the feeling of pressure from gas.

✔ ④ “Don’t hold back” on bathroom breaks

If you hold back the gas,

• Intestines become more tense
• Tension worsens

It will be easier.

If possible,

• Leave your seat a little
• Move yourself in the toilet

alone is OK.

Tips you can do immediately after meals (during work)

✔ 1-2 minutes of brisk walking

After lunch

• A short walk around the company
• Use some stairs

Even just
makes your intestines move more easily.

---

✔ Know what lunches are likely to cause gas

Examples of meals that are likely to affect you while working:

• Carbonated drinks
• Lots of beans and onions
• Eating fast

Adjusting amount and timing is more realistic than “avoiding it completely.”

How to think in meetings and quiet situations

✔ Reduce “what should I do if it appears”

Actually,

• I don’t care about those around me as much as I do
• Small sounds get lost in the environmental sounds

Most of the time.

High anxiety
makes the intestines even more tense.
