Bloating isn’t just from overindulging. Hormonal shifts, stress and common food triggers can wreak havoc on your digestion.
Let’s get you back to feeling light and energized!
Eat More Slowly
Rushed meals can lead to bloating and poor digestion. Take time to chew thoroughly, pause between bites and savor your food.
Identify Your Triggers
Raw veggies, dairy, alcohol and carbonated drinks can be common culprits. Track your symptoms for a few days to uncover patterns.
Add Fermented Foods
Yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut help introduce healthy bacteria to your gut. Add a spoonful daily with meals to support balance and digestion.
Take a Probiotic
If your digestion feels off, a quality probiotic like Shaklee Optiflora can support gut health, regularity and immunity. And replace beneficial bacteria that will support your gut for the long haul!
Stay Hydrated the Right Way
Dehydration worsens constipation and sluggish digestion. Sip water throughout the day and consider herbal teas like ginger or peppermint for gut relief.
You can also try a natural electrolyte drink here.
Try Digestive Enzymes
If meals feel heavy or hard to break down, enzymes can help. They’re especially helpful with larger or richer summer meals.
Move Gently After Meals
A short walk or light stretching helps stimulate digestion and relieve bloating. Avoid lying down or sitting for long periods right after eating.
