Avoid Distended Stomach

Bloated stomachs are unattractive and, above all, painful. This problem, caused by what you eat and the way you eat it, tends to occur more often during the menopause.

Learn to chew again
If you eat too quickly, you are just asking for an upset stomach because the first phase of digestion has not been allowed to happen. The food arrives in the stomach inadequately broken down and without undergoing the chemical actions of the enzymes in the saliva. The stomach, therefore, has to use up more of its gastric juices to compensate. All of this gives rise to a series of adverse reactions; coated tongue, stomach acidity and, above all, flatulence, due to the formation of gas in the colon. Therefore, it is crucial to chew thoroughly, appreciating every mouthful and concentrating on the texture of the food as much as its taste.

Strengthen your abdominal
Strong abdominal muscles are an excellent way of avoiding a bloated stomach. Do some strengthening exercises every morning.
