9 Foods That Fight Bloating

Belly bloat is not something you want to deal with as you rush to get ready to head out on the town on a Saturday night. Your favorite jeans fit just fine the last time you put them on, but now it’s nearly impossible to get them buttoned up, and you know that you haven’t put on any weight since you last slipped into them. Say hello to bloat. Belly bloat can happen when excess gas builds up in the digestive system, or when too much water is retained by your body. Although it’s a bit too late to do anything that will give you immediate relief from bloating when those jeans don’t fit, a few simple dietary changes can reduce the chances that you’ll have to deal with that problem again.

This is probably not something a whole of people will find in the refrigerator at any given time, and it is a bit on the exotic side, but it is readily available in just about every supermarket. Not everyone has given papaya a try yet, but it has a sweet taste, and its texture is similar to cantaloupe. What’s great about papaya is the enzymes it contains that can aid digestion, and reduce the likelihood of bloating.
