Beat the Bloat

Do you ever have that uncomfortable, “I need to unbutton the top button of my pants” feeling, after a meal? This feeling is often a result of the types of foods you are eating and can be completely eliminated by avoiding some of the bloat-causing foods below and eating more of the right foods.

Avoid these:

Processed foods

Sugary foods and artificial sweeteners

Salt

Gluten

Carbonated beverages such as soda and energy drinks

Dairy products – lactose is difficult for the human body to digest, which causes bloating

Fatty meats and oily or fried foods

Consume more of these:

Fiber-rich foods – fiber aids in digestion and will move food through the body more quickly and easily

Fruits

Vegetables

Potassium rich foods such as bananas

Water – recommend 48 oz or more per day
