Tengrinews.kz - As we age, the stomach becomes less efficient at digesting certain foods, particularly red meat, warns gastroenterologist Anastasia Timoshenko. According to her, red meat should be consumed no more than once or twice a week. She also highlighted the risks of processed meats such as sausages, deli meats, and convenience foods due to their high salt, preservative, and additive content, according to News.ru.
Foods to avoid for stomach health after 40:
Processed meats: Sausages, deli meats, and convenience foods are harmful due to their high salt, preservative, and additive content.
Salty foods: Includes sauces, fast food, and ready-to-eat meals with excessive salt.
Fast food: Instant and fast-preparation foods.
Red meat: Best limited to once or twice a week.
The expert also advises caution with carbonated drinks, sugary foods, and spicy dishes. Spices can trigger heartburn, and energy drinks may irritate the stomach, especially on an empty stomach.

Milk: May cause discomfort and bloating.
Coffee: Can lead to stomach pain, particularly when consumed in excess.
