Is tai chi good for bloating during perimenopause?

Exercise

Tai chi can be helpful for managing bloating during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in bloating.

The key with tai chi for bloating is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when bloating is more severe, a gentler approach to tai chi may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Tai chi specifically may help with bloating through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular tai chi, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for bloating than occasional intense sessions.

PeriPlan's day-type system adapts your workout recommendations based on how you feel, so your tai chi sessions are always matched to your readiness level.
