Why Am I Bloated Every Day? A 63-Year-Old Man's Query

Ans:

To ensure good digestion, only eat until your stomach is half-full.

This will enable proper digestion of food and help avoid bloating and gastric issues.

Avoid eating spicy food, especially after sunset.

Also eat a bowl of curd (fresh curd only and at room temperature) in the morning to control acidity issues.

Since you have indicated low physical activity, it could be the root cause of all your digestive problems.

You must go for a walk every morning or after a 30 minute gap after your meals. It not only promotes circulation but also promotes intestinal health.

If you have a desk job, try sitting on the floor with a laptop stand.

Options like a kneeling chair or a standing desk help avoid long sitting hours.

Ans: Hello, try drinking more water around 2.5 lit-3 lit/ day.. increase fibre rich food in diet. avoiding milk and milk products except curd may help in some cases.

Ans: This could be some allergy i to some specific protein. Avoid animal protein including milk products and see if this reduces. If it remains the same then consult a Gasteroenterologist to rule out Gall stones.
Also start having early dinner by 6 pm

Ans: A persistent belly bulge, especially in the upper belly, can sometimes be due to factors beyond diet and exercise. It might be related to posture, core muscle engagement, or even digestive issues like bloating. Here are some steps that may help:

Core-Strengthening Exercises: Practicing core-specific yoga postures, like Navasana (Boat Pose) and Ustrasana (Camel Pose), can target deeper abdominal muscles. These help to strengthen the core from within and may help reduce the bulge over time.

Breathing Techniques (Pranayama): Try Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) under guidance. It stimulates digestion, improves blood flow to the abdominal area, and may reduce bloating.

Focus on Digestion: Sometimes, a bloated appearance can be related to food intolerances. Watching which foods cause bloating and eating mindfully may help.

Since results can vary, working with a yoga coach can help you get a practice tailored to address specific needs. They can help monitor progress and adjust practices for the best outcome.
