My stomach is
getting bigger!
A common complaint for
many adults is the fact that their stomachs are gaining girth. This
stomach bloating is frequently accompanied by cramps, diarrhea, and
gas. These symptoms can be brought on by a variety of things;
however, often they can be helped by improving the health of your
digestive system.
As we age, the ability of our digestive systems to
function with the same effectiveness as in our youth diminishes.
Once you reach your 40’s and 50’s, most of you will notice that you
simply don’t move food through your intestinal tract as easily or as
quickly as in your 20’s and 30’s. Perhaps even certain foods such
as; beans, dairy products or green vegetables will trigger stomach
discomfort.
Health experts give advice on things you can do to help
improve your digestive health: Getting plenty of fiber (25 to 30
grams a day), drinking plenty of fluids (water is a good choice),
and getting adequate exercise are key. Consuming probitics have
shown to help too.
What are probiotics? Literally translated it
means, ‘For Life’. As defined by the World Health Organization
(WHO), a probiotic is a living microorganism that, when administered
in adequate amounts, confers a health benefit on its host. Today
many foods have added probiotics to their content: Several yogurts
being the most common.
After talking with your health care provider about how
