6. Up Your Potassium Intake
Did you know that potassium works to balance out high sodium levels?
Too much sodium in your system makes you bloat, so eat potassium rich foods like bananas, potatoes, and spinach to decrease bloating.
7. Get Some Exercise
Unsurprisingly, exercising makes you feel better when you’re bloated.
By getting your body moving, air can be released from your GI tract so that pressure is relieved and you feel less bloated.
Even better, getting your heart rate up helps your body to improve digestion, thus avoiding gas and constipation.
8. Don’t Chew Gum
Chewing gum may send innocuous enough, but when you chew gum, you swallow air.
All of that air builds up in your stomach and, unsurprisingly, causes bloating.
Choose a mint instead to freshen your breath.
