Caption: Five simple swaps to banish bloating. Bloating is the result of a build-up of gas in the gut which can sometimes cause discomfort and this can often be solved by taking care of your gut health. Chief Dietitian and Head of Clinical Research at myota, Dr Caitlin Hall, has come up with several healthy swaps that you can make for a happier and healthier gut. Swap artificial sweeteners with natural sugar. This swap can be beneficial to your digestive system, resulting in your stomach being less likely to bloat. Prioritise prebiotics over probiotics. ”One of the best ways to maintain a healthy gut is to increase your daily consumption of prebiotic fibre: a type of soluble fibre that is broken down (fermented) by the microbiome.” "This process leads to the production of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) molecules, which play an important role in digestion and in maintaining the lining of the gut.” Swap refined carbs for whole grains. Adding whole grains to your diet is a great way to increase your prebiotic fibre intake, which can promote a healthy gut. Try yoga instead of HIIT. ”Getting active can also help accelerate the passage of food through the digestive system. However, too much intense exercise can have the opposite effect - placing stress on your body and interrupting your digestion.” Swap mint chewing gum for mint tea. Chewing gum can increase your intake of air, which will often cause bloating. Sipping on mint tea can give you a delicious minty taste while also having soothing effects on your stomach. To conclude, the expert states: "If you experience painful or long-lasting bloating that causes you concern, be sure to speak to your doctor about it.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
