Strategies to ease bloating

There are a number of lifestyle habits you can adopts to reduce the discomfort associated with bloating.

Stay hydrated

A fibre-rich diet promotes regular bowel movements, which can prevent the build-up of gas.

Fibre-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, oats, breads and cereals can help to keep your digestive system functioning smoothly.

Probiotics
