Explanation

Stomach bloating can be uncomfortable, but there are ways to help prevent it. One important step is to eat slowly and chew your food well. This helps your stomach digest food better. Avoid foods that are known to cause gas, such as beans, broccoli, and carbonated drinks.

Physical Activity

  • Doing light physical activity, like a short walk after meals, can help your stomach feel better and reduce bloating.

Other Tips

  • Pay attention to portion sizes, as eating large meals can lead to bloating.
  • Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

These steps can make a big difference in how your stomach feels after eating. Remember, if bloating is severe or doesn't go away, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional.
