Stomach bloating is an issue that almost every one of us is familiar with. It can occur due to a number of reasons including eating certain foods in your diet, talking with your mouth full of food, or by eating too much, too quickly. But it was found that it is possible to get rid of stomach bloating easily by drinking a certain amount of water. But how much water is one supposed to drink? How much is 'enough'?



“When it comes to bloating, although diet and lifestyle changes shouldn’t be underrated and can make a big difference, sometimes certain remedies may be required to give you a little helping hand,” said a doctor. “We know that diet [what we eat], but also how we eat, is often very important in the management of bloating. This is together with lifestyle habits of course – and depending on the likely cause of the problem, different tactics may work better than others."



“Plenty of water – it may seem simple, but it’s also effective. Perhaps not such a quick fix, but most definitely a long-term solution. We should be drinking at least 1.5l of plain, still water daily – any less and you risk contributing to constipation and an increased risk of bloating. Keep hydrated to ensure things are moving along as they should.” Well, keep yourself hydrated we say. Stay tuned for more updates.
