You also need to learn to eat slowly. You should never eat your food in a hurry, as that increases the pressure on your stomach, thereby producing a lot of gas inside it. This is turn results in a bloated stomach. Water intake - many women believe that drinking too much water will give them puffy abs, but just the opposite is true. Even though we associate water with being bloated, drinking more water can help to flush sodium out of the body, and that reduces the bloat. Avoid too hot or too cold foods: you may unconsciously be drawing in air when eating foods that are extreme in temperature. Beverages and chewing gum can also make you swallow air, so it's a good idea to avoid them as well. Keep a bloat diary: people have different reactions to specific foods. A diary will help you identify your own troublemakers so you can reduce portions or eliminate them.
The No foods: Sugar of all kinds, including cakes. Check labels for added sugars. Yeast and anything containing it, such as bread, beer, wine, Marmite. Malted products, such as those found in breakfast cereals. Alcohol, vinegar (especially balsamic), pickled onions and gherkins, soy sauce. All fruits, except green apples (a maximum of two a day), dried fruits, fruit juices. Moulds, such as mushrooms, hard and blue cheese.
And food to enjoy: All grains, including rice and quinoa, fresh nuts (not salted or honeyed). Fish and meat, including smoked or cured, but not salami. Rice and oat cakes, plain Ryvita. Puffed rice, oats and wholegrain wheat cereals that have no added malt. Natural bio yogurt, soft cheese. Eggs. Fresh vegetables in abundance; potatoes, both regular and sweet, and tomatoes. To get rid of bloating fast, you should also watch your intake of antibiotics, sweets and salt. Antibiotics are notorious for causing excessive stomach bloating because they destroy the harmless bacteria normally present in the digestive tract (this bacteria helps you digest food). So, if you need
to take antibiotics at all, be sure to take B-Complex vitamins with it. Oral contraceptive pills also cause distension of the abdomen. Sweets and fat foods are one of the main causes of stomach disorder. Try to put a stop to these if you can. Do not consume excessive salt - take only what you need. Excessive salt intake in the form of fast processed foods also causes stomach bloating. Remember that these changes will make an amazing difference in the way you look, act & feel. Food provides the mixture of nutrients that the body needs, not only for fitness and wellbeing, but for life itself.
