How Poor Gut Health could be contributing to your midsection weight gain 

Here are ten ways menopausal women can increase their gut health, incorporating healthy habits:

1. Eat a Fibre-Rich Diet: Incorporate a variety of high-fibre foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. Fibre helps maintain regular bowel movements and supports a healthy gut microbiome.

2. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for digestion and helps keep the digestive tract functioning smoothly. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day.

3. Include Fermented Foods: Foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso are rich in probiotics, which promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

4. Consume Prebiotic Foods: Prebiotics, found in foods like garlic, onions, bananas, asparagus, and leeks, feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them thrive.

5. Limit Processed Foods and Sugars: Highly processed foods and sugars can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible.

6. Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps stimulate the gut and promotes regular bowel movements. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

7. Manage Stress: Chronic stress can negatively impact gut health. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine.

8. Get Enough Sleep: Poor sleep can affect gut health, so aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Establish a regular sleep schedule and create a calming bedtime routine.

9. Avoid Antibiotic Overuse: Antibiotics can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria. Only use them when necessary and as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

10. Consider Supplements: In some cases, probiotic or prebiotic supplements may be beneficial. Consult with a healthcare provider to determine if supplements are right for you.
