Physical Activity and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Exercise training modifies xenometabolites in gut and circulation of lean and obese adults

“…Participation in regular, moderate exercise reduces the incidence of metabolic and inflammatory disease, including gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer (Bilski et al, 2018 ; Lambdin et al, 2018 ; Ng et al, 2007 ).
