Eliminate Bloating in 2 days

Bloating causes abdominal discomfort which makes it challenging to feel confident and comfortable, even in your favorite clothes. Contrary to belief, bloating is typically caused by intestinal gas (not water retention) which can easily be avoided. With these 5 easy steps, you will know exactly how to eliminate bloating and learn to avoid it all together.

• Relieve constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat fibrous fruits and vegetables which support healthy digestion and elimination.

• Get moving. Staying physically active each day is key to a highly functioning digestive tract- walking, swimming, jogging, cycling, and climbing stairs are excellent options.

• Slow down. When you eat in a hurry, you typically aren’t chewing your food thoroughly and you end up swallowing excess air- both of which lead to intestinal gas. Instead, sip and chew your food slowly to reap the benefits of healthy digestion.

• Don’t let stress consume you. When we experience stress, many bodily processes- like your digestive system- speed up which can lead to gas or diarrhea, and ultimately bloating. When you feel the anxiety set it, take deep breathes, go for a walk, meditate, or find a productive outlet to take your mind off of the stressor.

• Massage your abdomen. To expedite the gas relief, try massaging your abdomen in the direction of digestion: gently press your fingers on your lower abdomen starting at your right hip, up to your ribs, across to your left hip and back around to your right hip. This circular motion may help stimulate the muscles in the digestive tract which may help fight bloating.

By making these subtle adjustments to your eating and lifestyle habits, you will find your digestion and bloating will greatly improve.
