BEAT THE BLOAT

PEOPLE EVERYWHERE have been experiencing intense stress and anxiety these past months, and stress definitely wreaks havoc on both mind and body. The nervous and digestive systems are in constant communication, thus syncing your brain and your GI tract. Stress and anxiety trigger thoughts and emotions, which then affect your entire gut - triggering stomach discomfort, including bloating. Some good news? There’s help! Follow these tips to help banish the bloat, in all seasons of life!

DRINK WATER

Staying hydrated is vital for your health and well-being. Our digestive system depends on water to function properly. It’s especially important to drink enough water if you are increasing your fibre intake – both of which we highly recommend!

GET MOVING

Becoming more physically active can get your bowels moving, which helps your body eliminate stools and release built-up gas. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity five times a week. Even a quick walk outside can help relieve painful gas and bloating.
