3 Yoga Poses To Instantly Relieve Bloating
June 1, 2022 by Louise Ferrer
Bloating is perhaps one of the most common struggles many of us face nowadays. When this happens, your belly often feels full, tight, and/or swollen. It’s definitely not a pleasant experience, which is why it’s usually associated with mild to intense pain.
Constipation, gut sensitivity, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are just some factors that could cause bloating. On top of that, the food you eat may also be keeping your body’s digestive system from functioning properly. With that in mind, you should always remember that what you consume matters greatly. According to an article published by Johns Hopkins Medicine, “Typically, the first line of treatment for preventing gas and bloating is changing your diet. Research has shown that a low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet can reduce the symptoms of gas and irritable bowel syndrom (IBS).”
Luckily, another solution that can address this problem is through exercising. Physical activity such as yoga can even help you get rid of that discomfort in your stomach. As a matter of fact, there are certain poses specifically used to deal with bloating. Want to give it a try? Check out some of these videos below from yoga teacher Sarah Beth.
