Well, first I'm going to talk a little about what causes abdominal distension. Then we'll talk about the 7 tips that will help you get rid of that horrible feeling of a bloated belly and reduce your gas. The first cause, as I said, is the issue of poor diet.
So this is an obvious cause. When you eat poorly, ingest excess sugar, excess saturated fat, you cause dysbiosis in your intestine. Furthermore, those who eat industrialized, multi-processed foods end up ingesting a high level of preservatives and a high level of sodium.
And this affects our entire digestive tract. If you consume a lot of sugar and a lot of fat, you favor fermentation inside your belly. And fermentation, what are you going to do?
It will make you release more gases and, consequently, the gas will make your organs more dilated, your organs more spent. The stomach is high, so you also end up having the sensation there, often even of shortness of breath and you start to feel bad. There are people who have so much gas in their stomach that they feel like they are having a heart attack.
Did you know that, guys? Very confused there. Often, this symptom can cause pain in the epigastrium region and the person may think they are having a heart attack, but when they take anti-gas medication it goes away.
Another important point is that when we eat very quickly, or chew little, or when the interval between meals is very short, the stomach can always feel full and feel like a high, bloated stomach. Of course, those who eat a lot and are overweight will end up accumulating fat in the abdominal region. And remember, folks, those who are overweight, obese, end up favoring the appearance of various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, and the worsening of other risk factors such as high blood pressure, for example.
In fact, if you are hypertensive, you need to understand the importance of measuring your blood pressure. According to the hypertension guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, In addition, of course, to taking your medications and having a healthy lifestyle, you can measure your blood pressure during the treatment of your hypertension. Of course, always according to what your doctor there will advise you.
That's why I want to recommend you to Servia do Brasil's patient care and support program , which is Semper Cuidando. Hypertensive patients who are registered in the program gain exclusive benefits when purchasing blood pressure devices, which are from a brand validated by the Brazilian Society of Cardiology. You can also have access to several other benefits, such as discounts on medicines, quality information, a 24-hour patient support channel and even reminders via SMS about the importance of maintaining your treatment.
So take the opportunity to secure your blood pressure device through Semper Caring and help reduce your cardiovascular risk. But let's go! Second cause of a swollen belly: intestinal problems.
So, those who suffer from constipation, those who tend to suffer from it frequently, those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, may have a distended and gas-filled belly. Of course, when you have inflammation, the intestine produces more gas, this causes bloating and can cause pain in the abdominal region. Whenever your intestine is not working well, it is important to see a gastro specialist to evaluate you.
Third cause: is a sedentary lifestyle. Are you there, do you play any sport, do you exercise at least three times a week? "Wow, the doctor has gone away now, huh?
What does physical exercise have to do with gas? " It's all about it, folks! One of the main factors is that when you exercise, you accumulate less fat in the abdominal region.
Secondly, movement during exercise, jumping, running, walking, exercising your muscles, can help your intestine to function better, because it causes mechanical effects that will help with peristalsis. Another thing, when we exercise, we release neurotransmitters, we produce hormones, this also improves the movement of the digestive tract.

I will leave the scheduling link here in the description. But I then talked about the most common causes and there are still other causes, right? There are people, for example, who have food allergies.
In these allergies, the person may have other associated symptoms such as hives, itching in the mouth, swelling in the mouth and on the tongue, abdominal pain, which is often more severe, and difficulty breathing. In these cases, the ideal is that you immediately seek emergency care there to be evaluated. These cases of allergy, when the mouth swells and the glottis closes, can be very serious cases.
Another disease that is very common to see abdominal distension in women is endometriosis. Why does it happen? During the menstrual period, the areas of endometriosis that may be in the woman's abdomen end up releasing inflammatory substances that irritate the intestinal loops.
Then the woman becomes much more distended, accumulates much more gas. In these cases, it is important to consult your gynecologist to assess the need for clinical treatment or surgical treatment of endometriosis. Well, now let's get to the most important part.
What should you do to resolve this? So, let's look at 7 tips to get rid of bloating and gas. First thing: improve your diet.
When we think about a high stomach, abdominal distension, the first thing we need to change is our diet. In fact, eating is very important for everything, right? To have more energy, well-being, to control the onset of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases.
So the tips are, you need to avoid consuming very heavy foods after 6 pm. Think of it this way, I'm going to sleep, I'm not going to be burning a lot of calories at night, so I need to eat a lot. So eat less sweets, avoid soft drinks, foods high in fat, be careful with foods that may cause intolerance, right?
There are people who are intolerant, for example, to milk, milk derivatives, yogurt, for example, and cheese. It is very important to eat pre-biotic foods that help in the growth of good bacteria. These are foods that contain some type of dietary fiber, which are good for the production of good bacteria in the intestine.
Some examples there, right? Whole grains, apples, onions, bananas, tangerines, asparagus, vegetables, legumes, right? They are very important.
But let's go! Second tip: add probiotics to your daily routine. Therefore, probiotic foods serve to regulate our intestinal flora.
In other words, they work by adding bacteria that are beneficial to our health. These bacteria generate various anti-inflammatory responses and help regulate your intestines. You can eat more soy-based foods, fermented foods, natural fermented bread, sugar-free yogurt, qualhada, pickles, white cheese, right?
There are plenty of options! Everything, of course, without exaggeration and always thinking about the calories and nutritional value of your diet. This will help you get rid of abdominal distension.
But let's go! Third tip: practice physical exercise. So, exercise is important to improve intestinal peristalsis.
If possible, exercise every day. Do weight training at least two to three times a week. On days you can walk briskly, swim, run, do functional training.
It is important to keep the muscles there always moving. Fourth tip, let's stay hydrated, right guys? So, drink at least two liters of water a day.
If you lose a lot of sweat during exercise, increase your fluid intake. When you keep your body hydrated, you contribute to the functioning of your intestine and help eliminate toxins. It's OK?
This tip is very important. Fourth tip: chew there without rushing, eat slowly, divide your meals more, give a gap of at least three hours, two, three hours between them. Chew your food well.
Eat calmly, slowly, don't eat while watching television. Focus on what you are putting in your body, right? Another thing is not to stay.
. . There are people who like to talk while eating, right?
Talk about eating. This can push air into the stomach. So you're eating there, focus on your diet.
Fifth tip: avoid drinking while you eat. When you drink juice or water during meals, you end up diluting the gastric juice and the enzymes that are responsible for the correct digestion of food. Therefore, many people end up having indigestion, bloating and burning sensation right after meals.
So, drink water about 30 minutes before or about 30 minutes after a meal, not when you are eating. Sixth tip: avoid drinking alcohol. If you like to drink a beer or any alcoholic drink, be careful, always drink in moderation.
Beer, especially, can ferment more in the digestive tract and produce a lot of gas there. You there will drink, you must have already noticed, right? Then leave it in the comments.
So, everything in life, folks, is about consuming in moderation. And seventh tip: soak the legumes. Legumes such as beans, chickpeas, peas, lentils are rich in raffinose and stachyose, which is a type of carbohydrate that we cannot digest.
They facilitate fermentation by the bacteria in our intestines. Then you get that feeling, of bloating, of gas. And to reduce the formation of gas, reduce abdominal distension from consuming these foods, it is important to leave them to soak there.
for 12 hours until then, right, which will provide relief from this type of symptom. Then, of course, before making it you eliminate that water that was left for 12 hours and cook your legumes. Are you ok guys?
