4 Foods to Get Rid of Belly Bloating
Everyone wants to know which foods to eat to flush out the excess fluid in the abdomen that makes us feel like leaving the t-shirt or cover-up on rather than freely sporting the bathing suit. Here are four foods that can help you to look and feel svelte and light, and four foods to watch out for that can make you feel water-logged and get you into "bloat" trouble.
1. Water-- with a twist of lemon
It seems counter intuitive to drink water when you're worried about feeling bloated, retaining water is actually your body's way of holding on to fluid to prevent dehydration. Drinking water will allow your body to let go of any extra fluid it might be retaining.
2. Watermelon
Watermelon feels heavy, but that's just because it's made up of 92 percent water, so it will help your body to release any water it's retaining. You can even add some watermelon to your lemon water.
3. Blueberries
Blueberries are a great source of fluid, potassium and fiber (to counteract any possible bloat you may be experiencing from salt). Blueberries also contain the phytochemical C3G, which research shows may help in weight loss by enhancing the production of both adiponectin, which enhances fat metabolism, and leptin, which suppresses appetite.
4. Iced Green Tea With Mint and Lemon
Tea is hydrating and will help flush any excess sodium that's contributing to bloat. Both mint and lemon contain potassium, which helps to restore normal fluid balance and flush out bloat. Make your iced tea at home, keep it in a large water bottle, and sip away on the sand.
