Fennel Seeds

Fennel seeds have carminative properties that can help alleviate bloating and ease digestion. Chew on a teaspoon of fennel seeds or steep them in hot water for a soothing fennel tea.

Probiotics

Incorporating probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, or kimchi, into your diet can help promote a healthy gut and reduce bloating. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria into your digestive system, which can improve digestion and reduce bloating.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help prevent bloating caused by dehydration. Adequate hydration can aid digestion and keep things moving smoothly in your digestive tract.

Avoid Trigger Foods

Certain foods can contribute to bloating, such as carbonated beverages, fatty or fried foods, beans, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods and try to avoid those that commonly cause bloating for you.
