The belly that swells without warning, that uncomfortable – sometimes even painful – feeling of no longer fitting into your favorite pants... Many of us are familiar with it. Sometimes, bloating occurs after just a single glass of a carbonated drink, and other times it appears when you least expect it.
However, there are very simple actions that can help relieve this swelling, alleviate abdominal pain, and restore better digestive comfort. I therefore suggest to you 10 tips to relieve bloating and, above all, prevent them from becoming too frequent in your daily life.
1. Gently revisiting your plate
Yes, our food plays a key role in the sensation of bloating. But there's no need to revolutionize everything in the blink of an eye!

- Listening to your body means becoming aware of what feels good... and what causes discomfort. Every organism has its own little story.
2. Rediscovering water... and infusions
It cannot be repeated enough: Staying hydrated throughout the day supports the smoothness of intestinal transit. A "dry" stomach is often a stomach in distress. So, treat yourself to about 1.5 liters of water, enhanced with gentle herbal teas (lemon balm, lavender, verbena...).
- The idea is not to force oneself, but to keep a bottle or a cup nearby and to take breaks. hydration like real moments of well-being.
3. Ally with probiotics

- A course of probiotics can be beneficial, especially if you are experiencing ongoing digestive discomfort. Use it as an occasional ally to restore your gut flora.
4. Make the lunch break a true ritual

6. Learning to identify "false friends"
Each person has their sensitivity: for some, the dairy products cause a funny commotion; for others, it's legumes or even certain Spices.
- Try the method of partial elimination: remove a potentially guilty food, observe, then reintroduce it. This requires a bit of patience, but it's an excellent way to identify the true triggers.
7. Cross chewing gums off the list
Chewing gum is tempting for curbing hunger or for freshening breath. But Constant chewing without swallowing anything brings a lot of air into our stomach.. Result: abdominal bloating in sight, and sometimes increased gastric acidity.
- If you want a little burst of freshness in your mouth, a menthol spray can be more considerate for preserving the health of your digestive system.
8. Explore natural remedies
The activated charcoal (Charcoal) is known for capturing gases and relieving the sensation of bloating. It can be used occasionally when the stomach feels really too heavy.
- However, be careful not to overdo it. Regularity should instead be found in our daily habits (healthy eating, physical activity, hydration...) rather than in excessive continuous consumption of supplements.

- Do you grant any conscious breathing, moments of meditation or simple sensory breaks (a quiet coffee, a walk in the fresh air). These are the small rituals that soothe the mind, improve the pace of life... and also relax our body.
