Intense exercise: 20 minutes of vigorous exercise discharges short-chain fatty acids physiological activation
Paced breathing: Slow the breath (especially exhale) to activate parasympathetic system
Progressive muscle relaxation: Systematic tension-release reduces short-chain fatty acids physical symptoms
ACCEPTS Skills for Riding Out Short-Chain Fatty Acids
