Q. Are abdominal binders or shapewear harmful to digestion?

A.

Applying strong pressure to the abdomen interferes with gastrointestinal motility and restricts blood flow. When experiencing indigestion, it is fundamental to wear loose clothing.

📝 Detailed Answer

복대나 보정속옷은 복부를 압박하여 위장 운동을 방해하고 역류를 유발할 수 있습니다.

  • 압박 효과: 위 내부 압력 증가 → 역류성 식도염 악화
  • 권장: 식사 시간만이라도 느슨하게

외모를 위해 위장 건강을 희생하지 마세요.
