Think you’re too bloated to squeeze into your skinny jeans? You’re not alone.
A study by WebMD found that one in 10 Americans say they regularly suffer from bloating.
Dr. Robynne Chutkan, author of the new book “The Bloat Cure,” offers four tips to keep your tummy flat.
Put down the coffee
“Caffeinated beverages, especially coffee, can overstimulate your
digestive system and lead to bloat-causing spasms,” Chutkan, a faculty
member at Georgetown University Medical Center, writes.
Avoid canned food
While canned foods have a longer shelf life, they can also contain
bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that can disrupt your digestion.
Limit cruciferous vegetables
Greens like cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are rich in
vitamins C, E and K, but scarfing down too much in one sitting could
upset your tummy. They contain raffinose, a starch that ferments in your
colon and produces bloat-causing methane gas. Chutkan suggests
spreading out consumption of these veggies and adding lemon juice to
stimulate stomach enzymes.
And watch your fiber intake
Fiber-packed foods like beans and kale are full of vitamins, but
eating too much in one sitting can clog your digestive pipes, causing a
backup and major bloat. Chutkan suggests splitting your fiber foods into
smaller servings and drinking lots of water in between.
Don’t eat soy
“Large amounts of processed unfermented soy [below] have
estrogen-like effects, which contribute to bloating and weight gain,”
Chutkan says. Modal Trigger
