Looks like pregnant, feels like pressure. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Thatโ€™s the reality of bloating for many โ€” itโ€™s not just a โ€œfood babyโ€ or a bit of puffiness. From the outside, people might see a rounded belly and brush it off. But inside, youโ€™re dealing with tightness, cramps, gas, and serious discomfort that can last for hours.

Bloating can be caused by what you eat, how you eat, or how your gut is functioning overall. If itโ€™s happening often, your bodyโ€™s trying to tell you something โ€” and it deserves attention.

โœ… Here are a few tips to help relieve bloating:
โฟก Eat slowly โ€“ Rushing your meals leads to swallowed air and poor digestion.
โฟข Avoid trigger foods โ€“ Common culprits include dairy, beans, carbonated drinks, and artificial sweeteners.
โฟฃ Stay hydrated โ€“ Water helps move things along and prevent constipation-related bloating.
โฟค Get moving โ€“ Gentle walking or stretching can reduce pressure and aid digestion.
โฟฅ Try a probiotic โ€“ Supporting your gut flora can make a big difference long-term.

If bloating is something you're dealing with regularly, donโ€™t wait.

IBS isnโ€™t just a bad tummy day โ€” it can take a serious toll on your life.

From sudden flare-ups and constant bloating to food fear and mental fatigue, it affects how you eat, move, socialise, and function day to day.

๐Ÿ’ก One small habit that helps:
Slow down your meals and chew properly.
It gives your digestive system time to process food and can reduce cramping, gas, and discomfort.

If youโ€™re tired of trying to manage IBS on your own, you're not alone โ€” and there is support available.

Want to support your digestion, mood, and overall wellness? Start at the supermarket. These foods are packed with fibre, prebiotics, and natural goodness to help your gut thrive.

So, what we feed our gut really matters.

Instead of obsessing over what to avoid, letโ€™s focus on what to include:
โœ” Fermented goodies (like kimchi & miso)
โœ” Fibre-rich fruit (hello bananas & pears)
โœ” Prebiotic veg (onions, garlic, leeks)
โœ” Plant power (beans & legumes)

These simple additions can make a big difference โ€” not just for your belly, but for your whole wellbeing.

๐Ÿ˜ฃ Stressed gut = upset gut.
When youโ€™re under pressure, your body produces more cortisol โ€” the stress hormone. This triggers the โ€œfight or flightโ€ response, which can slow digestion, change gut motility, and reduce nutrient absorption.

๐Ÿ’ก Ever notice your tummy acts up before a big event or during a stressful week? Thatโ€™s your gut-brain axis in action.

โœจ Learning to calm your nervous system โ€” through breathwork, mindfulness, movement, or rest โ€” can do wonders for your digestion. Sometimes what your gut needs most isn't a new supplement, but a moment of calm.

Youโ€™ve probably heard of probiotics (like the ones in yoghurt), but prebiotics are just as important โ€” and often forgotten!

Modern life can throw gut health out of balance โ€” stress, processed food, irregular meals, poor sleep... sound familiar?
The good news is: prebiotic-rich foods are easy to add to your routine.

Try this:
๐Ÿฅฃ Start your day with oats or wholegrain toast
๐Ÿ  Add sweet potato to your lunch
๐Ÿง„ Cook with garlic and onion
๐ŸŒ Snack on a firm banana
๐Ÿฅฆ Include leeks, asparagus or broccoli with dinner

It doesnโ€™t have to be complicated โ€” just consistent.

Your gut doesnโ€™t just digest food โ€” it affects your mood, immunity, skin, and even how well you sleep. So show it some love ๐Ÿ’š

โœจ Take your time chewing! โœจ

It might sound too basic, but how you eat is just as important as what you eat.

Hereโ€™s what chewing properly does for you:
๐Ÿฆท Helps break down food into manageable pieces
๐Ÿ’ง Activates enzymes in saliva that begin the digestion process
๐Ÿง  Allows your brain to catch up with your stomach, helping prevent overeating
๐ŸŒฑ Reduces the chance of bloating, gas, and sluggish digestion

Try this at your next meal:
๐Ÿด Pause between bites
๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Slow down and enjoy each mouthful
๐Ÿ”„ Aim for at least 20 chews per bite (especially with solid food)

You donโ€™t need supplements to start feeling betterโ€”just your teeth and a little patience. ๐Ÿงก
