BETTER HEALTH


Belly got you feeling
blah? Here’s how to beat
that bothersome bloat flat b elly

a


bloated belly is
uncomfortable and,
frankly, unacceptable!
It can happen for all
kinds of reasons, but to avoid
it, or get it gone in a hurry, try
some of the following simple
diet tweaks and handy tips.
Remember, if belly troubles
persist, don’t be embarrassed to
seek professional help. A painful,
distended stomach can be a sign
of an underlying condition such
as irritable bowel syndrome or a
lactose or gluten intolerance. If
you have nausea, pain, cramps
or diarrhoea that won’t quit, your
doc can run diagnostic tests to
get to the root of the problem.

EXERCISE IT OUT
Physical activity can help gas
pass quickly through the digestive
system, so get up and get moving!
Even a brisk 10-minute walk
will help you feel better fast.
