Bloating is a common problem we all face and no matter what we do, it will never fully go away.  Along with over-eating and the struggle with periods, bloating unwantedly shows up and produces cramps.  For those of you that do not know, bloating is any general abnormal swelling of the abdominal area.  Although it produces pains that may not completely disappear, there are a few tips to help and reduce bloating.

Tip #1: Water, water, water!  Drinking lots of water is the first step to reduce bloating.  Avoid beverages such as soda or sparkling drinks.  These contain a large amount of carbonation which causes your stomach to grow bigger.

Tip #2: Limit the amount of fiber you put in your body.  Fibrous foods are harder to digest than regular food; therefore, they stay in your gut for a longer amount of time causing you to bloat.

Tip #3: Eat lots of potassium!  Potassium-rich foods such as bananas, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and fish are good for over-bloated tummies.  Although it’s not a main source of potassium, yogurt also helps with digestion.

Tip #4: Watch the amount of food you eat and how fast you eat it!  Of course eating a smaller plate of food will reduce bloating, but did you know the speed of eating does, too?  Eating your food at a slower pace helps your stomach digest things easier; thus, reducing bloating!

Hope this helps you “burst your bubble”.

Tips for Crushing Cramps

Tips for Crushing Cramps
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Chelsea-Crockett-Tips-for-Crushing-Cramps.jpg

Cramps, which are an awful thing, hit us girls every so often! They make us want to stay in bed and roll up into a ball for the day. Although they’re often unavoidable, there are several things you can do to soothe cramps and make it easier to get things done! Cramps shouldn’t stop you from accomplishing things throughout your day!

• First off, make sure you’re eating and drinking right. Drink lots and lots of water and avoid carbonated and caffeinated beverages. When it comes to foods, eat meals that are non-processed and high in calcium and vitamins. Chicken, fish, brown rice, and green vegetables are perfect examples of good foods.


• Second, be determined to get your daily workout in especially during your time of the month. Exercising releases endorphins in your body that act as a natural painkiller. It may be the last thing you want to do when you’re having cramps, but I promise it helps!


• Third, try the obvious medications or heating pads. Taking a couple Advil or Ibuprofen usually does the trick! If not, apply a heating pad to your stomach or lower back, wherever you’re cramping.


• Lastly, there are a few methods I’ve found online that are a little outside of the box! After waking up, immediately do yoga or different stretches. Simply getting your body moving is a start to crushing cramps. Also, eating foods with cinnamon can help digest your food and may soothe cramps as well. It’s worth a try!

Next time you find yourself curled into a ball refusing to get out of bed, try these easy tips!

5 Unknown Beauty Foods

5 Unknown Beauty Foods
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Chelsea-Crockett-Beauty-Foods.jpg

We’ve all learned about how healthy fruits and vegetables benefit your body in numerous ways.  But did you know some foods can benefit your body in different ways such as a brighter smile and healthier hair?  I like to call these “beauty foods”.  Here are five of my favorites!

1. Apples and carrots are not only good for your body, but for your teeth, too!  The hardness of these foods causes you to chew longer and harder which helps remove the stains and bacteria on your teeth.  Nuts are also a good snack to help make your teeth shine.  They have certain minerals in them which are essential for teeth growth.
2. For healthy hair, you need your vitamins!  Foods rich in vitamins such as blueberries, spinach, sweet potatoes, and chicken are all good for strengthening the strands of your hair in addition to making it look shinier and healthier!
3. If you’re a fish eater, you’ve already got many benefits going for you!  Fish such as salmon is great for your skin and hair.  It makes skin look younger and healthier.  Who wouldn’t want that?
4. If you wonder why your nails get dry and brittle, it’s probably because you’re not getting enough Vitamin B and calcium.  Foods rich in these include meat, eggs, cheese, and definitely milk!
5. Does anybody else have those dark, puffy circles under your eyes?  Besides more sleep, a healthy diet can reduce those unwanted rings below your eyes.  Leafy green vegetables are the best way to do so.

 

            Stick to a healthy diet and start eating your “beauty foods!”

                                                Love, Chels
