Three Reasons For Having A Bloated Stomach

Bloated stomach meaning you can’t wear that dress and can’t rely to look good in your pictures which is important since the moment is gone by but the pictures remain there to haunt you for the rest of your life. Also, constantly feel conscious of your looks and what not.

In this blog, I will be addressing the common reasons to why an individual face this bloated stomach issue. 

Knowing the solution to a problem is the second step in the phase of solving the problem. First being the mindful of the reasons for the problem. It is because you can try the solutions but if you don’t know the actual reason why it is all happening, how will you be able to stop it the next time? 

So bottom line, one needs to prevent this from happening in the future rather than knowing the solution only.

There are actually 3 MAJOR reasons why an individual has a BLOATED STOMACH. Let’s look at them in detail.

1 – Air

Its sounds weird when you see or hear someone telling you that air is the reason for a bloated stomach. When air is CRUCIAL for living. Unfortunately, it is one of the reasons why we have bloated stomach.

Consuming excess of anything can be harmful is a phrase we hear all our lives but we don’t implement it. We can consume a lot of air by a lot of activities and due bad eating habits just like eating food in a haste or chewing gums and what not. I shall be discussing those in detail in my next blog.

2- Sodium

Tell me you did not see this coming? 

Too much sodium is really really bad for you. Not only for your bloated stomach but for your over your health like increasing your blood pressure.

How it is related with bloating you ask? Well, its basic science. You all remember learning about OSMOSIS? If not, then let me refresh your memory. Osmosis is the water movement from higher to lower concentration. 

Hence, when you have salt in your stomach which has low concentration of water, water from surroundings with higher concentration will automatically come for the salt or low water concentration. 

Thus, a bloated stomach.

3- Digestion

Digestion being the last important factor in your bloated stomach issue. 

Well, this topic is really huge for this blog, I might not be able to cover all points but I shall do a blog on this in the near future. But for now, poor digestion is the cause of bloating. 

The reasons could be you are intolerant to certain foods, your stomach acid and enzymes and are diluted due to too much water intake just before or during meal the meal, you are having fruits with your food  (yes, you read that correct, so eat your fruits on a empty stomach), and what not. 

But these are some of the reasons that could be a reason of poor digestion leading to a bloated stomach.
