10 Tips to Avoid Bloating
There are days when we feel uncomfortable
with our body. It seems that we have increased a few more measurements,
especially around the belly, which looks swollen. The reasons can be diverse,
like retention of liquids or gases, among others. If you feel this is the case
for you, you may find the solution in some of the 6 tricks to avoid bloating
that we have for you.
1. Avoid bread and confectionery sweets
Carbohydrates such as white bread, rice,
cookies, as well as cakes and other sweets contain gluten and yeast, which
cause digestion to become slow and make you feel heavy. It is best to eat baked
pastry moderately and occasionally. In addition, cakes contain large amounts of
sugars and fats, which makes them doubly bad: in fact, you are gaining weight
and, in addition, feel that your belly's swelling while you eat them.
2. Sleep enough and avoid constipation.
During your nocturnal rest, your bowel
functions normalize. That is why it is important to rest for 8 hours, since
many times the constipation is caused by stress, which is released when we
sleep. Sleep well, free yourself from constipation, and this will result in
less swelling.
3. Do not "swallow air" and say
goodbye to chewing gum
In addition to your high sugar level that
will make you gain weight, chewing gum or sucking candies will fill you with
gas. The same goes for drinking sorbet or eating fast. These habits cause
swelling. Better to put them aside and feel comfortable without unnecessary
swellings.
4. Drink plenty of water and avoid fluid retention
Water cleanses your body and helps balance
hormones that are not working well and cause fluid retention, which often makes
us feel bloated. In addition, drinking several glasses of water during the day
will help detoxify your body and, indirectly, lose weight. Of course, do not
drink too much water before bed or you will have to get up to go to the
bathroom during the night.
5. Avoid some condiments and other meals
like...
Black pepper, nutmeg, tomato sauce, vinegar,
mustard, onion and spicy sauces, as they increase stomach acid and generate the
feeling that your food is coming back into your throat, as well as an
uncomfortable swelling. On the other hand, consuming fiber is good, but it is
also a double-edged sword, as it helps regulate intestinal transit and prevents
abdominal swelling, yet ingesting large amounts can cause flatulence and an
upset stomach. If you want to include fiber in your diet, do it moderately a
few times until your body gets used to it. In addition, vegetables such as
broccoli and cauliflower also generate gases that can make you feel bloated.
6. Eat slowly and in small quantities
If your plates of food are large, in addition
to overeating, it will take longer to digest the food. That is why it is best
to eat in small quantities well distributed throughout the day, to help your
stomach digest properly and without fuss. In addition, nutritionists recommend
eating 5 times a day in order to have the feeling of satiety and not to munch
on sweets or other snacks. The best thing about that is that you will avoid
swelling and weight gain!
Remember that swelling is a symptom that
something else is happening in your body. Whether it's a digestive problem,
chronic constipation or weight problems, it's best to always go to the doctor
to get a clear diagnosis and start treating the underlying problem.
