Do you ever get Bloated?

Try these 6 top tips for good digestion and help give your digestive system a holiday... It's probably time you got you over abdominal bloating and digestive discomfort! Here’s how to help your gut do its job without the dramas…

1. Feed your tummy warm and well cooked meals

Many people who experience bloating and digestive discomfort benefit from eating warm cooked meals rather than raw cold foods. With the colder weather on its way, it’s the perfect time to enjoy warm cooked meals, soups and stews. Add fresh ginger to hearty meals for its wonderful calming benefits on the digestive system.

2. Easy does it

Your digestive system is like a fire, slowly burning all day to break down your food and turn it into energy. Some people find their internal fire works better given small amounts of fuel at regular intervals during the day. Consider feeding your digestive system small regular meals and chewing your food well, so your digestion (which starts in your mouth) is well underway by the time your meal reaches your belly.

3. Find your triggers

It might be dairy, fatty foods, wheat, particular vegetables, or stress that can cause digestive discomfort. Keeping a ‘diet diary’ can help you identify your triggers. It’s really important you recognise and manage these triggers, so consider seeing a naturopath to help you.

4. Ensure your ‘inner garden’ is healthy

A good probiotic can help reduce digestive discomfort such as abdominal bloating. Taking your probiotic is like planting seeds in your gut ecosystem, helping the total health of your digestive system. Check your probiotic has the 5 ticks to promote digestive health.
