WEDNESDAY TIP OF THE DAY - Do you suffer from bloating?

Published: Wed, 03/22/17


Let’s stay on track and focused today....How many of you suffer from bloating?

From time to time, do you suffer from a bloated, puffy, protruding tummy that is as hard as nails, feels uncomfortable ….

It's often down to food intolerance and sensitivities, so being a detective & working out what doesn't suit you is such a helpful step in getting a grip on your bloating.

5 top tips to minimise your bloating

1: Ditch the Gluten.

Humans find it extremely difficult to digest gluten. Foods containing gluten such as bread, cakes, pastries, pasta are all common causes of bloating.

Ditch them for a week & watch your bloating minimise.

2: Ditch the Dairy

Cows milk is another common culprit so switch to Almond or Coconut Milk or go without for a week and see what happens

3: Eat smaller portions SLOWLY.

I know this is such a dull one but it WORKS.

Take your time when you eat & stop gobbling down your food as fast as possible.

REALLY and I mean REALLY concentrate on the food you are chewing.

Stop looking at the TV or your phone & enjoy the food, ensuring you are not overeating.

Eating a huge amount in record time is another sure fire way to set your bloating going.

4: FRUIT contains SUGAR so Beware.

Do you “think” eating lots of fruit is healthy?

Fruit contains sugar & will create a big spike in cortisol & insulin secretion (fat storing hormones).  Often eating fruit will cause the stomach to swell.  Personally, I eat very little fruit concentrating on eating a wide variety of veggies. I have switched this around as I love fruit so I did find this very hard at first but my bloaty tummy disappeared.  Go easy on the fruit & consume more veggies.

5: Cut the Caffeine Down or Out

Have you ever enjoyed your Grande Cafe Latte only to look & feel 6 months pregnant 5 minutes later?  The milk & coffee is the perfect mix to gain a rock solid bloated belly, so if YOU really can’t let go of the caffeine fix go for a black Espresso.

Give these tips a go for 7 days & monitor how your bloating feels. I would love to know if you try this.
