Miss The Bloat

We've all had those days where we can't even get our fat jeans to zip. Ever felt that you've gained 10 pounds in two hours? This is uncomfortable, irritable , we are bloated. 

There are many reasons why we feel this way and and most of them deal with your diet. By making stupid choices, we expect our digestive system to just take care of it all after devouring those sugary energy bars, eat on the run and even skip meals. As kids, we used to get away with all of this, but everything as we know changes with age. 

One simple way to get rid of the bloating, is to change your diet altogether. One thing to keep in mind , is when you eat a lot of refined carbs (such as bread, pasta, potatoes and rice) , this is one of the most common causes of bloating. These foods break down into sugar quickly, and sugar creates gas. People who often increase their fiber intake, will often feel bloated more. Refined sugars also cause bloating in the same way, it is easily fermented bacterial and organisms in the gut, which produces gas and alcohol. Studies have shows, that the people who consume the most alcohol suffer from chronic bloating and other discomforts. 

A few helpful hints....

1. Cut back or eliminate all together sugars. 
2. If you are wanting to increase your fiber intake, do it slowly. 
3. DRINK WATER
4. Maintain frequent bathroom habits.
