Allow me to set the scene. You’re out for girls night with friends, like dinner, bar-hopping, the works. You decide to dress cute. I’m talking skinny jeans, body suit, cute moto jacket, the works. You order pasta, pizza, perhaps some bruschetta to share, and after this lovely meal, you feel the need to unbutton your jeans and end the night immediately to tend to the fucking food baby that has impregnated your body. Moral of the story: bloat is the bane of everyone’s existence. I’ve made it my personal mission in life to never have to deal with bloat again, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
I have Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon every morning because of its immense benefits, but did you know that ACV can also be used to treat bloat? Raw ACV is packed full of enzymes that really rev up your digestive system. Mix a tablespoon into a glass of water before your meal.
2. Arrae Bloat Alchemy Capsules
This all-natural blend of herbs gets rid of bloat in less than an hour (no joke). Plus it’s organic and totally filler-free. Some of its ingredients include ginger root, which speeds up digestion, lemon balm, which reduces gas, and bromelain, which is a natural digestive enzyme found in pineapples. The trick here is dosing. I have 2-3 depending on how heavy my meal has been and it works like magic.
3. Epsom Salts
It’s no secret that epsom salts are a known remedy for inflammation. That’s why you’re told to take an epsom salt bath when your muscles are REALLY sore from a workout. Well the same philosophy applies to treating bloat. An epsom salt bath will relieve the bloating, plus it’s super relaxing.
