“Digestive Health After 60 Why Your Stomach Feels Different Now — And How to Feel Better Every Day”
Transcript
00:00Have you ever wondered why your stomach seems a little more sensitive these days?
00:04Even when you didn't change your diet? After 60, your digestive system goes through natural shifts.
00:11But the good news is, you can feel great again with just a few simple habits.
00:16As we age, stomach acid naturally decreases, the gut moves more slowly,
00:21and the muscles around digestion weaken a bit. These changes are normal, not dangerous,
00:26but they can make you feel bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable. You might notice heavier
00:31digestion after eating, more bloating, or getting full faster than before. These are gentle signs
00:37your system just needs a little extra support. Warm drinks can be incredibly soothing. A cup of warm
00:44water or herbal tea in the morning wakes up your digestive system with kindness. Fiber is wonderful,
00:50but the key after 60 is gentle fiber. Think oatmeal, pears, berries, and soft vegetables.
00:58They help digestion flow, without irritating your stomach. Many older adults cut back on protein
01:04because it feels heavy. But the right kind, soft, easy-to-digest protein, actually improves digestion
01:11and keeps your muscles strong. Your gut bacteria change with age. Foods like yogurt, kefir,
01:18and fermented veggies restore balance and help you digest meals more comfortably.
01:23A short walk after meals helps digestion more than any medicine. Even 10 to 20 minutes of slow
01:30movement can calm bloating and support regularity. Your stomach works best when your mind is calm.
01:37Eating slowly, breathing, and enjoying your food helps your body digest without stress.
01:43If a food makes you feel bloated or tired, it doesn't mean something's wrong.
01:47It simply means your body has changed, and it's inviting you to adjust gently.
01:53Talk to your doctor if you experience ongoing pain, rapid weight loss, or long-term bowel changes.
01:59Not because it's dangerous, but because you deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your body.
02:05Your stomach may feel different now, but that doesn't mean your quality of life has to change.
02:10With simple habits and a gentle approach, every meal can feel good again.
