Number 8 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.
Here’s what helps me
-
1
Keep a steady eating rhythm
Hormone changes can make your gut more sensitive to chaos.
How to: Eat three meals at about the same time every day.
-
2
Go easy on salt and alcohol
Both can leave you puffy and bloated.
How to: Save wine for the weekend and cook at home more often.
-
3
Move every day
Walking helps your digestion and your mood.
How to: Aim for a morning walk and a short walk after dinner.
-
4
Add fiber slowly
Fiber helps regularity, but go slowly.
How to: Add one new fiber food each week and drink more water with it.
-
5
Lift something
Muscle helps your whole body after 50.
How to: Two short sessions a week with light weights or resistance bands.
-
6
Protect your sleep
Night sweats and bad sleep make everything harder.

-
7

The one most people miss
These seven things help me, but the one that made the biggest difference for my bloating in this stage of life is one little capsule every morning.
Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions
How long until I feel a difference?
For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.
Is it hard to take?
No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.
Is it worth the money?
I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.
Can I take it with the rest of my routine?
Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
