The people suffering from flatulence and bloating experience not only physical but also psychological torture, especially if they have to work in a close team or in an enclosed space. Here are the three food products and beverages that can alleviate the symptoms of the disorder.
1. Water with lemon
Too many people with flatulence do not drink water during severe attacks of their disorder, whereas they should do it, in fact. The more water the body contains, the less it is dehydrated. In case of bloating, the body tries to push the fluid out, and not to detain it. Since lemon is a natural diuretic and a mild laxative when added to warm water, the use of this drink will help to restore the amount of salt in the body and reduce the symptoms of flatulence. Lemon water should be drunk through the straw not to swallow any additional air.
2. Watermelon
Any variety of watermelons and melons are beneficial to your health. Watermelon is one of the juiciest fruits in the world because it consists of water by 92%. Watermelon is a natural diuretic and an excellent source of potassium. Balance of salt and potassium is important for controlling the level of gas in the intestine.
3. Yogurt
Many people have excessive sensitivity to lactose, so they’d better pay attention to yogurt instead of milk. Especially to the yogurts that contain living bacterial cultures. It has been proved during the research that probiotics improve the symptoms of bloating. Add slices of watermelon to your yogurt for a more powerful effect.
