Most ladies feel ashamed and embarrassed when they
have a bloated tummy; the body part they are most conscious about is their
belly. If I am right about this, then all you need to do is to change your
thinking, and stop some of the old food advice you have been following for
years which may actually be working against you. Getting a flat tummy is an
ambitious goal; if you stick to a strict plan, you can make a difference to
your shape in less than few weeks or months.
Keep a food diary
If you tend to get bloated following meals, it could be that
you are suffering from food intolerance. It may be worth getting tested for
food intolerance; however, experts are unsure of the effectiveness of these
tests. The best thing is to keep a food diary, noting everything you eat as
well as any signs of bloating, to help identify a link.
Stay hydrated
Avoid gas-inducing foods
The leading cause of bloating is excess gas, so try to limit
your intake of gas-inducing foods such as cabbage, sprouts, beans and grains.
Also, avoid the sweeteners sorbitol and maltitol, try not to overdo your intake
of fiber, and avoid chewing gum, which can exacerbate bloating. Try to also cut
down on refined sugars, fermented products such as alcohol and cheese, and
foods containing yeast; these can cause yeast in the gut to thrive, which can lead
to excess gas and bloating.
Concentrate on your meals
Many of us eat our meals on the go or while chatting with
family and friends; however, taking more time over your meals and not talking
while you eat could help reduce post-meal bloating. Eating too quickly and
talking while eating can cause you to swallow air, leading to excess gas. Also,
as digestion begins in the mouth, not chewing your food well can affect digestion.
It is also beneficial to eat little and often, as large meals can overload the
digestive system.
Give your digestive system a helping
hand
If you regularly feel bloated after
meals, it may be that you have low levels of certain enzymes, meaning that
foods are not being digested properly. To rectify this, try supplementing your
meals with natural enzymes such as papain, bromelain or lactase which can help
the digestive system to break down certain foods.
Try natural bloating remedies
Sadly, bloating will affect most of us from time to time,
regardless of our best efforts. Luckily, there are some natural remedies you
can turn to in times of tummy distress. A good natural remedy for bloating is
charcoal capsules, which help to absorb excess gas. Peppermint capsules and
aloe vera juice are also good for supporting the digestive system and preventing
bloating when taken regularly.
Get active
To help gas pass through the digestive system more quickly
when bloated, try heading out for a brisk walk or jog. Also, try to establish a
regular exercise routine as regular workouts help to keep the digestive system
working efficiently and strengthen core abdominal muscles, which will help to
reduce the extent to which abdominal muscles relax when gas builds up in the
gut.
Relax
One of the biggest precursors to digestive problems and
bloating is stress. The digestive tract can be extremely sensitive to stress
hormones, which is why many people experience abdominal pain or bloating during
turbulent times in their lives. To help reduce bloating, try to manage your
stress by experimenting with different relaxation techniques, such as yoga and
meditation, to find one that works for you.
