Chew gum or take a walk? simple tricks may make your colonoscopy prep easier

This study tested whether simple activities like chewing gum or light walking could improve the quality of bowel preparation before a colonoscopy and make the process more comfortable for patients. Researchers compared 168 adults split into three groups: one chewing gum, one doing walking exercises, and one following standard prep instructions alone. The goal was to see if these easy additions could lead to a cleaner colon for better screening and a more satisfactory experience for patients.
