Do you often feel bloated after eating? Do you experience discomfort and pain in your stomach? If so, you’re not alone. Stomach bloating is a common problem that affects many people, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet, stress, and digestive issues.
Tips to Reduce Bloating
Fortunately, there are several simple tips that you can follow to reduce bloating and improve your digestion. Here are some of the most effective ones:
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly

Minimise drinking water with a meal
Drink 2 litres of water during the day. However, try to minimise drinking water with a meal. This may upset your digestive system and cause bloating right after a meal.
Avoid foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat
Avoid foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. These can all contribute to bloating and digestive issues.
Refrain from eating fruits after a meal
Eating fruits after a meal can intensify bloating. When you eat fruits after a meal, the fruit ferments on tip of the main meal you ate. To prevent this, it’s best to eat fruits on its own or at least 30 minutes before a meal. It’s best to eat a healthy dessert instead if fruits.
