Natural Ways to Beat the Bloat

We all have those days when we wake up feeling weighed down and sluggish—it’s not the best feeling. We’re here to give you a few natural remedies to try when you feel this way.

Avoid Sodium

Sodium plays a large role in feeling bloated, and there can be large amounts of sodium in certain foods such as bacon, frozen meals, and nuts. If you feel bloated, definitely try to avoid these foods. Eating large amounts of sodium can cause an increase in blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body. 

MCT Oil

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT, for short) is a unique form of fat that is easily digested. MCT oil can help speed up your metabolism, which in turn makes you less bloated. You can mix MCT oil into almost any drink such as coffee and smoothies making them very easy to ingest. 

Ginger

Ginger is a great natural remedy to help detoxify your body. It is one of the most anti-inflammatory ingredients we have. Eating only a little can go a long way, as it is filled with antioxidants that help your body get rid of fluid. An added bonus of eating ginger is that it is really good for your immune system. We recommend putting some lemon and ginger into the water in the morning to start your day on a healthy note!

Fiber

Fiber is a natural remedy that helps flush unwanted toxins out of your body. It can definitely help reduce bloat if taken in small doses. We recommend taking a fiber gummy to make sure you’re getting a healthy dose.

Though it can be frustrating, experiencing bloat is inevitable. So don't get down on yourself when you do feel it! Give your body a few days and consider trying these remedies to feel your best.
