We all know it too well – the feeling of fullness and tightness in the belly, which is sticking out a bit more than usual and it’s all very uncomfortable. There’s usually a build-up of gas, but we can’t always just pass it and be done with it all. Eating large meals, unusual food combinations and hormonal changes can also play a role. However, the foods below can help.
• PLANT YOGHURTS – those with live bacteria can do wonders to reduce bloating. They introduce more good bacteria to your gut and if you eat fibre-rich foods, those bacteria will multiply and help to improve your digestion.
• PINEAPPLE – it contains the enzyme bromelain, which supports your digestion and helps to break down some nutrients, making it easier for your gut to do its job.
