11 Stressless Tips to Flatten Abdomen

Are you feeling bloated?

1.Try drinking warm water, said Gillian McKeith, a holistic nutritionist and author of "You Are What You Eat" and "Food Bible: How to Use Food to Cure What Ails You." She recommends drinking a glass of room temperature water before meals and make sure you only take little sips. However, avoid ice-cold water. McKeith said it will give you gas.

2.Chomp on some celery. McKeith said celery contains sodium and potassium needed for water balance.
3.Chicory will also help relieve bloating. It contains prebiotocs that feed 'good bacteria' to your stomach, according to McKeith.
4.Miso soup will not only warm you up on a cold day - but miso also contains enzymes that help with proper digestion.
5.Go for some raw sauerkraut. McKeith said this traditional German food contains enzymes and beneficial bacteria that help with digestion.
6.Have a bowl of brown rice or millet. Both contain fiber, which helps to encourage good bacteria as well as bowel function.
7.Throw some ground flax seed into your morning smoothie. Flax seeds contain fiber that soothes and lubricates the intestines, according to McKeith. And remember, to fight bloat always avoid refined carbohydrates, alcohol, dairy products, salt, spices, caffeine and processed or packaged foods.
8.One large banana contains about 602 milligrams of potassium, which helps beat bloat by regulating the bodies sodium levels.
9.Eating ginger or drinking ginger tea will help you beat bloat by easing digestion. Ginger also contains the compounds ginerols, which ease stomach bloat.
10.Parsley is a natural diuretic and can be easily sprinkled on anything from your morning eggs to your dinner potato.
