Top 5 ways to battle belly bloat
1. Cleanse
First, prime your body with an herbal
cleanse from Renew Life. Th is easy threeday
cleanse works with the body’s natural
metabolism to help eliminate waste and
toxins, and relieves occasional bloating
and constipation. You’ll detoxify, reduce
water retention and immediately feel
more energized.
2. Eat smart
Avoid highly processed foods to maintain
a tame tummy. Th ese foods are typically
high in sodium and low in fi ber,
which contributes to that bloated feeling.
Some vegetables should be avoided
as well. Beyond beans, avoid broccoli,
Brussels sprouts and caulifl ower, which
can cause a gassy feeling.
3. Hydrate
Staying hydrated is essential on hot
days, but don’t reach for carbonated
drinks. Th e bubbles can get trapped in
your belly and contribute to bloating.
Instead, go for good old H2O. If you need
a little fl avor, add a few wedges of fresh
orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit for a
healthy twist that’s sure to quench your
thirst.
4. Maintain gut health
A properly functioning gut contains a
delicate balance of bacteria to help with
digestive and immune health. Without
this balance, you can feel bloated and
unwell. Keep your gut in check with a
daily probiotic supplement like Renew
Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic. Just one

daily pill can help replenish the balance to
help you keep bloat under control.
5. Exercise
If you’re bloated, you may be more
tempted to curl up on the couch rather
than get active. However, exercise stimulates
the bowels and helps keep your
digestive tract regular. Strive to move and
groove at least 15 minutes a day. Take a
short walk, turn on that workout video
and sign up for that yoga class - not only
will you kick bloat to the curb, but you’ll
look and feel great.
Don’t let tummy troubles keep you from
doing the things you love. With these fi ve
tips you’ll have occasional bloat under
control and be ready for swimsuit season.
