Is your belly swollen after each meal? A doctor reveals the real dropout and gives the solution.
Unpleasant, the bloating is due to a colon filled with air and working in slow motion. Result: food is struggling to reach the “outing”. Many people suffer from it, but very few know that they can change the situation. Especially by modifying a very common habit in everyday life.
Concretely, this practice “Gets good digestion and thus promotes the stagnation of food and the formation of intestinal gas”explains Doctor Frédéric Saldmann in his book “The best medication is you!” (ed. Albin Michel). In short, if you are regularly constipated, this habit is probably the cause. The first reflex to have is, according to the healthcare professional, to evacuate the gases. To do this, a little tour in the toilet is enough to boost digestion. But it is possible to prevent their training from the start of the day, avoiding wearing too tight clothes. Unfortunately, too many people continue to put on jeans so narrow that they leave traces on the skin, and give this unpleasant impression of having taken two sizes in a few hours.
With the summer temperatures of the moment, prefer dresses, skirts and comfortable fluid pants with binding jeans. In addition to freeing the way to the passage of food, you give your body a significant freedom of movement. And if you really don’t have the choice to wear a tight garment, do not hesitate to unbutton it or loose it discreetly after a meal when the situation allows it. The relief is immediate! And visually, the belly often finds a flatter shape in a few hours.
Other good reflexes make it possible to facilitate digestion such as drinking 1.5 liters of water per day minimum, favor a diet rich in fibers (vegetables, raw fruits, cereals, etc.), eat slowly in a sitting position and give a small digestive walk.
By adopting these habits, you put all the chances on your side to say goodbye to bloating, and therefore with swollen belly. Rather accommodating when you are about to put on a swimsuit to dab in salted water!
