Bloating is most often caused by the accumulation of intestinal gas, directly linked to poor eating habits.

What happens during peri-menopause / menopause ?

Estrogen levels drop, which can lead to dryness of the vaginal mucosa. This hormonal upheaval leads to a change in the composition of the vaginal microbiota.

For many women, the menopause is a difficult time to go through, as it is often accompanied by intimate problems and symptoms of varying degrees of severity: vaginal dryness, recurrent urinary tract infections, vaginitis…

Yet some menopausal women, whose flora remains dominated by protective lactobacilli, present far fewer symptoms than those whose microbiota has been modified.

How to get rid of a bloated belly?

Managing stress

Stress is one of the main causes of bloating and digestive problems after the age of 40. Taking steps to reduce your stress levels can make all the difference when it comes to keeping a flat, bloat-free stomach. This can mean taking time for yourself, keeping a diary, exercising regularly, practicing yoga or meditation, or talking to friends and family about what’s going on in your life.

Watch what you eat and drink

A healthy diet rich in fiber can help combat bloating. Eating small meals throughout the day rather than large ones can also help prevent bloating by reducing the pressure on your digestive system. In addition, it’s essential to avoid fizzy drinks and other beverages containing gas. The gas in these drinks causes the stomach to swell and increases the tendency to bloat.

You can find our fiber-rich recipes in our recipe booklet.

Drinking plenty of water (around 8 glasses a day) is also important for managing bloating, as staying hydrated helps eliminate toxins from the body. Finally, avoiding processed foods, especially those high in sodium, can also help reduce bloating. Processed foods tend to be saltier, leading to water retention and bloating.

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise is essential to staying fit and reducing belly fat – and you don’t have to do long gym sessions to do it !

Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, cycling or even yoga all work wonders to reduce bloating while helping to build the muscle mass that gives us more energy throughout the day. Try to vary your activities throughout the week so you don’t get bored quickly – it makes exercise so much more enjoyable!

What to eat to keep your tummy from bulging ?

To avoid the overproduction of gas in the intestines, it is advisable to :

• Eat grilled, white meats and poultry, as they promote good digestion.
• Lean fish, either en papillote or grilled, as they contain less fermentation.
• Hard-boiled or poached eggs, as they are cooked without fat.
• Prefer tender, cooked vegetables to raw ones. For fragile intestines, it’s best to remove the seeds and skin from vegetables, then puree them.
• Eat foods containing soluble and insoluble fiber.
• Stay well hydrated, drinking at least 1.5 L of water a day.

Keeping a flat stomach after 40 isn’t impossible – it just takes a little effort and dedication! By managing your stress levels, eating healthily, reducing your intake of processed foods and exercising regularly, you should start seeing results in no time! So why not try these tips today?
