There’s nothing attractive about a bloated belly that looks like a giant balloon about to burst, not to mention all the gas and discomfort. Bloating is common after heavy meals, but for some people, it’s a normal part of everyday life.
What makes your belly bloat?
1. Insufficient water consumption
Dehydration is a major cause of many health problems. Excessive coffee and alcohol consumption also contribute to the problem. When was the last time you drank 6 to 8 glasses of water during the day?
When the body lacks water, it uses fluids from its tissues, which means bloating can occur as a result of water retention. So, try to drink more water.
2. Constipation
Constipation is a rather unpleasant problem, and it’s a sign that you need more fiber-rich foods. Gas stuck behind your stool isn’t going to stay put for long, you know.
Increase your fiber intake gradually, otherwise it will make the problem worse. Eat more healthy salads. Indulge in smoothies and berries. Sounds delicious, right?
