Early morning bloat can put a damper on your day, but luckily there are some natural home remedies that you can start implementing in your regular routine to ward off this bloat.
Specifically, by starting your day with a cup of tea, you could help reduce the bloat and the discomfort that comes with it. With that in mind, keep reading for some teas you should stock up on for your updated morning routine!
Ginger Tea
Having a cup of ginger tea early in the morning is a great way to relieve any stomach issues, including bloating.
Ginger is well-known as an aid for an upset stomach, which means it might be able to help you reduce bloat in the morning. According to Food Network, "Ginger is a potent digestive aid that has been used to alleviate gas, bloating and stomach pains for centuries. It naturally stimulates the body’s digestive enzymes, and is an anti-inflammatory, helping to relieve inflammation and protect the stomach lining."
Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is another great addition to any morning ritual, especially if you are dealing stomach bloat.
Healthline explains, "Animal studies also show that peppermint relaxes the gut, which may relieve intestinal spasms — as well as the bloating and pain that can accompany them. Additionally, peppermint oil capsules may alleviate abdominal pain, bloating, and other digestive symptoms."
Apple Cider Vinegar Tea
Many people praise apple cider vinegar for its weight loss benefits, and it might hep you combat bloat as well.
According to Medical News Today, "ACV is naturally acidic, and so for people with low stomach acidity, using ACV may help raise stomach acid levels to aid digestion. In theory, this could prevent gas and bloating, which a slow digestion can cause."
Plus, its antimicrobial properties could help too: "ACV is also an antimicrobial substance, meaning it may help kill bacteria in the stomach or intestines. Excess bacteria or bacteria in the upper intestines release gases that may lead to bloating, so ACV may help with symptoms."
With that in mind, if you are sick of waking up to bloat, consider incorporating one of these teas into your daily routine. They might help ease stomach discomfort and reduce the appearance of bloat, which can help you have a better morning.
