IS BLOATING STRESSING YOU OUT





How many times has bloating hindered you from showing off your abs or wearing that short top?

For the guys it could be that last can of beer or for the ladies that time of the month even to much salt in your meal. I came across the top 10 foods to avoid that contribute to belly -bloating

Here the list
1. FRIED FOODS (they're digested more slowly you feel heavy & bloated)

2. CHEWING GUM (you swallow air when chewing. It's trapped in the GI tract causing bloating, pressure & belly expansion)

3. GASSY FOODS (legumes, broccoli, cabbage, onions, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, peppers, and citrus fruits)

4. SALT (salt-based seasonings & highly processed food)

5. SPICY FOODS (foods seasoned with cloves, hot sauces, Chili powder, black pepper, nutmeg, catsup, barbecue sauce, onions, mustard, horseradish, vinegar or tomato sauce)

6. SUGAR ALCOHOLS (cookies, candy and energy bars causing gas, distention, diarrhea and bloating

7. CARBONATED DRINKS (those bubbles end up in your stomach)

8. HIGH-ACID DRINKS (acidic fruit juices, coffee, hot cocoa, tea and Alcohol)

9. BULKY RAW FOODS (eat only cooked vegetables, can fruits in natural juices, unsweetened dried fruit)

10. EXCESS CARBS (decrease carbohydrate consumption briefly so body can burn it off & drain of excessive fluid)

I love bread but i have cut back alot. I only eat multigrain bread and brown rice. Some of the food mention is actually good for you, so how do you compromise.
