With summer almost over you’re probably feeling a little relieved that pool parties are dwindling, huh? Because let’s be honest, being comfortable in your sweats and being comfortable in your bikini are two very different things. Having said that, discomfort can still be a problem for many of our customers, even after the leaves have started to fall. Being bloated is disconcerting because it’s your body’s way of signaling something is wrong with your recent diet. Take a look at these culprits:
• Artificial sweeteners—they may say diet, but they actually contain compounds the digestive system has trouble breaking down
• Sodium—as your body strives to keep its electrolytes in balance, thirst is triggered to keep up with high sodium concentration—meaning you drink more water as you intake more sodium
• Starches—the stomach has a hard time digesting these carbs, causing them to sit in your stomach and retain water—adding to the fact that flour forms gas when broken down in your large intestine
So now that you know what to look out for, what do you do about this annoying, uncomfortable bloating? Try the following bloating remedies:
• Drinking water. This may sound counterintuitive since we discussed sodium’s effects, but it actually is working in your favor to steady your digestive tract and balance out sodium.
• Sipping dandelion tea. Natural dandelion root provides diuretic as well as detoxifying properties, which balance your digestive tract as a whole.
• Taking fennel seed powder. This all-natural herb is known for its ability to reduce bloating, gas, and water retention. We suggest sprinkling some over yogurt for an extra boost of probiotics.
And the best part about all of those ingredients? They’re all included in DrFloras Bowel Regulator, kind of like a one-stop-shop for banishing your bloat!
