Pay attention to which foods bloat you. You might have to simply change the way you prepare them or remove them you diet altogether. Some foods just might need to be

cooked a bit longer. Some of the more common culprits include fried and fatty foods, artificial sweeteners, and foods very high in fiber. Try an elimination diet where you stop eating

all foods that you suspect might make your waistline expand for a week. Then try adding them back into your diet one at a time. This process should make it

very obvious which foods don't agree with you.

Eating too quickly, chewing gum, talking while your mouth is full, and drinking carbonated drinks all cause you to ingest air. It then interrupts the intestinal flow, expands it, and can

even cause pain. The simple remedy is to take your meals sitting down and chew your food slowly and completely. Then just give up the rest of those pesky habits.

Being gluten and lactose intolerant are very common these days. The quality of wheat has changed making it more difficult to digest and pasteurizing dairy makes the lactose your enemy.

Both can cause gastrointestinal distress. Consult your physician for testing if you have extreme reactions when any food is consumed whether it is severe diarrhea, constipation, extreme bloating, pain, fever

rashes, or difficulty breathing. If you must remove certain foods from your diet, be sure to get recommendations for replacements and/or supplements.

Many women suffer through pre-menstrual symptoms, but you don't have to. You can reduce bloating by consuming 200 mg of magnesium daily for two months while reducing weight gain and breast

tenderness. Add foods to your menu like green leafy vegetables, brown rice, bananas, and avocados to keep your tummy in check!

You may not yet be camera-ready, but taking yoga classes can do a lot to reduce your bloating. The cat and cow pose coupled with some deep breathing

can help massage your intestinal tract and help get things moving. Take a look at this video on Pawanmuktasana for some poses that improve digestion and release gas.
