There are many things that can lead to bloating. We’ll discuss a few of them here with you. Bloating is uncomfortable to say the least. Not only that, but it can leave you feeling down. That said, it can be something that is easily avoided for most people.
Lets have a little look at some things that could cause it, and how to combat it.
Sugar – Bloating can be caused by hidden sugars in certain foods. The main culprits tend to be the so called ‘sugar – free’ types. Limit the quantities of artificially sweetened foods to help combat bloating.
Fibre – We’re talking too little, and not too much. No fibre can lead to constipation, which can result in bloating. Eat fruits, seeds, nuts, and vegetables, and whole grains foods.
Fit these within your macros. Don’t over do it. And drink plenty of fluids, as we said in a previous blog. Your body needs water.
Slow down – Eating too fast can result in bloating. Food is one of life’s pleasures and should be enjoyed, not inhaled!
Chew your food, take your time and relax. Your foods not going to come back to life, and run off! Plus, it has been shown that eating slower leads to you eating less, rather than over eating.
Eliminate possible intolerances – Without realising, you could be intolerant to some foods. This may be a direct link to the fact that you suffer bloating whilst eating certain foods. If this is the case, visit your GP.
Dr. Google cannot give you a human, hands on response and diagnosis.
Little, and often – Try eating smaller meals, more frequently throughout the day instead of larger meals. This will also help you to avoid being hungry, over eating, and possibly causing uncomfortable bloating.
If you do this, ensure that you include all the essential nutrients your diet needs, and aim to stay within your macros.
There you have it. A few of the reasons, and causes of why people suffer from bloating.
