Menopause can be a difficult time for women with many side effects, including menopause belly. But there is hope! Probiotics are increasingly being used to help with this unfortunate symptom.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can improve digestion and provide other health benefits. Studies have shown that probiotics may reduce symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, bloating, and mood changes. There is also some evidence that probiotics may help reduce the size of a woman's menopausal belly.
Consuming probiotic-rich foods or taking a supplement are two great ways to get more probiotics into your diet. Foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, kefir, and kimchi are all rich sources of these beneficial bacteria. Supplements often contain lactobacillus and bifidobacterium species — two bacteria strains that have been shown to promote digestive health in studies.
It’s important to remember that while probiotics may help decrease the size of one’s menopausal belly, they cannot replace weight loss through healthy eating habits and exercise. A balanced diet paired with regular exercise will not only help fight off menopausal belly but also provide numerous other health benefits.
Additionally, hormone replacement therapy has been found to be an effective treatment for symptoms related to menopause, including reduction in size of abdominal fat deposits if desired; and Hormone Treatment Center offers individualized treatments from qualified medical professionals who can develop an appropriate course of action for each patient's needs.
So for those struggling with their menopause belly, here are some tips:
Consider taking probiotic supplements
Follow a healthy diet combined with regular exercise
Speak to your doctor about the possibility of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Probiotics offer a lot of promise when it comes to reducing the size of menopausal belly, but you should always seek medical advice before making any drastic changes to your lifestyle or diet. And Hormone Treatment Center can offer personalized treatment plans tailored specifically for each individual’s needs – so why not give them a visit today?
