How To Beat Bloat

Nutrition Bites

Every summer the search term “bloat” peaks on Google - with good reason. The hot weather uniform of a little less clothing and a little more skin often invokes a sense of self-consciousness about our stomachs. While the infamous food baby is a natural, albeit, annoying result from our stomach expanding after a meal, bloat is a whole other ball game.
Bloating is the feeling of tightness, pressure or fullness in your belly and is caused by excessive gas in our digestive tract. Not only can it cause you to look inflated, but it can also be incredibly uncomfortable. While a lot of the motivation to prevent bloating is driven by vanity, for many it can be an awful experience that disrupts their daily lives, or even a symptom of an underlying health condition. So tune in to learn more about bloating, what causes it, and what we can do to manage it.
