Whether you're left feeling uncomfortable with a belly bulge in your jeans or looking bloated after a meal, bloating can be an unwelcome companion at mealtime. Ingredients rich in fibre, anti-inflammatory properties, and digestive enzymes can help relieve bloating and promote better digestion.
Ginger
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger aids digestion by speeding up the process of stomach emptying and reducing gas. You can add fresh or powdered ginger to tea, smoothies, or meals to ease bloating.
Peppermint
Peppermint has muscle-relaxing properties that can ease bloating by helping gas pass through the digestive tract. Keep peppermint tea on hand to sip after meals or when you feel bloated.
Kiwifruit
Kiwifruit contains an enzyme called actinidin, which helps break down proteins and aids digestion. It's also high in fiber, helping to keep the digestive system moving and prevent constipation, which can contribute to bloating. Kiwifruit is especially known for reducing bloating in those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Pineapple
Pineapple is rich in bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps break down proteins, easing digestion and reducing bloating. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the gut, making it a great natural remedy for bloating and indigestion.
Papaya
Papaya contains papain, another enzyme that helps digest proteins and supports the breakdown of food. Papain is widely recognized for its ability to reduce bloating, ease constipation, and promote overall gut health.
