Bloated stomachs have become increasingly common in recent times. There are many reasons as to why you may experience bloating.
Its important to know that the term bloated can mean different things to different people. Some think of it as flatulence and belching, coupled with constipation or a distended abdomen. Whilst others consider it to be that they wake up with a flat stomach and by the end of the day have a belly bump.
Diet is one of many reasons as to why you may experience any of these systems. However, there are medical conditions that can also contribute or be the sole reason for bloating.
To work out why a person develops this condition is never a straight forward process, as every body is different and many factors have to be considered. The good news is, Naturopathy treatment is often highly effective reducing bloated sensations and boosting energy.
1. Chew your food! When we eat in a rush we don’t allow our body enough time to digest. Chewing stimulate and primes the body for breaking down our food, which is important to reduce bloating.
2. Regular Exercise helps move fluid around our body and increases circulation, which helps to move food throughout the digestive system.
3. Avoid lying down directly after meals. This again affects the quality of digesting what we have just eaten.
4. Sit down and relax in a quiet space and focus on your breathing as this helps stimulate the part of body that focuses on digestion. It helps stimulate the secretions needed to break down food and calms the mind.
5. Having a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 30 minutes before you eat can help secrete the digestive secretions required to break down food and reduce bloating.
