Belly Bloat

Many women over the age of 30 begin to experience issues with Belly Bloat. More women are complaining about feeling bloated, gassy and exhausted all the time. Who wants to feel like they are constantly rundown and empty.

Yet many women struggle with this in silence, not to mention the constant feeling that they are fat, struggling to squeeze into your jeans. When a lot of the time it comes down to Belly Bloat.

Belly Bloat

So why is this happening to often and more so to women than men?
The first reason is estrogen. Yes estrogen causes women to experience things that men just won’t. So does this mean that the hormones are the cause? Well not exactly. The real cause is that most people in general don’t eat enough fresh vegetables and clean whole foods. When this happens the endocrine (hormone) system is the first to take the brunt of poor nutrition.
In turn this creates issues within the digestive system. Your digestive system really is the brain of your body. When we don’t feed the body correctly the brain isn’t happy. Thus causing Belly Bloat.
Now ladies I know you the majority of you have experienced these symptoms:
  • The bloated belly that makes it impossible to close your favorite pair of jeans (or even get them on)
  • Brain fog that makes thinking straight out of the question
  • Exhaustion that makes it incredibly difficult to get through a normal day, much less consider working out.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. About 80% of women suffer with these symptoms, and more! What’s worse is so many of go to our doctors looking for answers, only to find there are none, and they are even told, “It’s all in your head”, or “You’re just stressed out”.Well it is not just in your head and its not just caused from stress. It can be fixed but it will take some adjustments on your part.

Belly Bloat

The first two easy things to look at is your sugar and caffeine intake.
  • Sugar – When your system is overloaded with simple sugars, the result is excess bloating and gas. Bloating occurs when the sugars ingested are poorly absorbed and make their way in to the large intestine feeding the sugar bugs, or bad bacteria, that reside there. The sugar bugs produce further toxic gases causing bloating, discomfort, pain, and irregular bowel movements.
  • Caffeine – Caffeine can harm your stomach and intestines by destroying the linings. When you drink coffee your stomach produces large amounts of hydrochloric acid. When you drink coffee on an empty stomach, this production increases.After age 25, our hydrochloric acid production naturally begins to decrease, making it more difficult to digest the foods we eat. Ingesting caffeine, causes an overproduction of HCl, reducing the body’s ability to produce HCl for digestion.When there is a shortage of HCl, we run into problems breaking down foods. The undigested foods ferment in our systems causing gases, and providing fuel for the sugar bugs, or bad bacteria, further exacerbating belly bloat.
The other two things that may be need is Vitamin D and a good Nutritional Refresh.
  • Vitamin D – Vitamin D is actually a hormone created in the body with sunlight and cholesterol. It goes through a series of changes to become active and available in the body, ultimately moving from the kidneys to where it is needed. Studies show a connection between Vitamin D deficiencies and gut health. Proper vitamin D levels have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body including the gut. Vitamin D plays a vital role in the balance of gut flora. Increasing Vitamin D levels helps to reduce chronic inflammation and improves digestion and immune function.
  • Nutritional Refresh – A nutrition refresh allows you to clean our your system and refresh through eating properly combined foods and supplements. When you do a proper nutrition refresh it will detoxify and cleanse the digestive system, while supporting the metabolism. Which in turn will have your body function more efficiently, and it helps burn fat. A highly recommend nutritional refresh is the 3-Day Refresh System by Beachbody.
