Banishing Bloating: Delight in the Top Five Ingestible Strategies for a Flatter, Happier Tummy

Cut Down on Salt

Salt is a flavor booster in many dishes and can be a hard habit to break. However, excessive salt intake can lead to water retention in the body, causing bloating. Counteract the effects of sodium by reducing the amounts used in your dishes and becoming more aware of "hidden" salts in processed foods. Opt for natural, whole foods whenever possible and enhance the flavors with herbs and spices instead of reaching for the salt shaker.
