EXPERT SUGGESTION

Dr Rakesh Patel, Consultant Gastroenterology, Fortis Hospital, Kalyan, suggested some ways to get relief from bloating.

HERBAL TEAS

Carbonated beverages can add air to your digestive system, causing bloating. Opt for plain water or herbal tea instead. Try alternatives, such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger tea. 

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Regular exercise can help prevent inflammation by reducing food triggers and constipation. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days.

PROBIOTICS

Probiotics support a healthy gut microflora, which can reduce bloating and improve digestion. Add yoghurt, ginger, or fennel to your diet.

STRESS BUSTER

Stress can increase digestive issues and inflammation. Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to calm your mind and body.

HYDRATION

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out excess sodium and reduce fluid retention, which often causes bloating.
