14 quick and easy ways to reduce bloating

If you've ever planned a big night out just to later feel like your stomach was way too full or your pants were fitting too tight, you know just how awful bloating can be. Bloating occurs when yourgastrointestinal tract is filled with excess air and gas, and that can happen due to the foods you eat, how quickly you eat or drink and a plethora of other everyday practices you probably don't think about. So, to help you avoid canceling your plans and laying on the couch with your pants unbuckled, here are 14 easy ways to help you reduce your chances of bloating. Stretch it out.A great way to begin your debloating journey is to do your best to loosen up and stretch it out. If you know some yoga poses, break them out. Rebecca Weible, yoga instructor and founder and owner of Yo Yoga! in New York City, told SELF that when your hips are tight, your pelvis then presses up against your digestive organs. Weible told the magazine that stretching helps "open things up a bit" and increases circulation to the torso and "the organs that are working to digest."To relieve the pressure on your pelvic region, you should do stretches that both open up your hips and twist your abdominal area, according to Active. Fill up your water bottle.If you're bloated, you probably find yourself thinking that there isn't any room left in your stomach for food or liquids. But, drinking water might be just what you need to cleanse your system, flush out gas and flatten your stomach.If you don't consume enough liquids, your body will retain water to avoid dehydration. Drinking water can do wonders for reducing water retention in your body and helping to prevent constipation, according to Shape. Go for a walk.If you're feeling gassy and bloated, the last thing you probably want to do is a workout. But, a little physical activity can go a long way toward stretching out your abdominal area, allowing your bowels to move more regularly and sweating out any excess water in your body. Even a light walk around the block can give your digestive system the gentle nudge it needs to get back to operating properly, according to POPSUGAR. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
