💡 Tips to Keep It Bloat-Free

  • Don’t over-salt: Excess salt = water retention = belly bloating.
  • Chew slowly: Digestion starts in the mouth. Slow eating = less gas and bloating.
  • Avoid cold drinks with the meal: They can interfere with digestion.
  • Eat 2–3 hours before bed: To allow your body time to digest peacefully.
