You might have experienced days when you feel heavy and uneasy due to bloating. But what if it wasn’t as hard as you would believe to prevent that bloated feeling?
Making minor adjustments to your everyday routine can have a significant impact.
Here are some easy but effective ways to keep you comfy throughout the day and prevent bloating:
According to the health-focused publication Healthline, “Abdominal bloating is a common problem, often triggered by a large meal or a gas-producing food. It can also result from gut sensitivity due to emotional changes, alterations to the gut microbiome, and various underlying health conditions.”
It may be caused by a food sensitivity or intolerance, or it may be the result of an underlying medical illness, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the health hub adds.
The health publication further states that the general well-being and quality of life of an individual might be impacted by persistent bloating that results in moderate to severe symptoms.
Medical News Today claims, “Physical activity can get the bowels moving more regularly, which can help to release excess gas and stool. Getting the bowels to move is especially important if a person is constipated. A walk around the block can provide fast relief from gas pressure.”
To help the bowels move, massage the abdomen. It is particularly beneficial to massage along the large intestine’s route, the health news source also states.
According to Verywell Health, “Some research suggests peppermint oil may help with digestion and symptoms of bloating. Peppermint oil is available in capsules that you can take by mouth.”
The health source mentioned above also suggests to avoid constipation, which causes bloating, it is important to consume enough fibre.
