I admit it, I often had gas in my body, feeling bloated and it's really uncomfortable. It's quite embarrassing as well when you're in public if suddenly farting and burping happen. Sometimes it does give some body and muscle pain on my body, which irritate me most of the time. So, I did some research.
Apparently, gas usually caused by swallowed by air or the breakdown of food through digestion. Some Food and Beverage might cause the body to produce more gas as well.
There are some ways to prevent body gas :
- Change diet intake
There are some food that may cause gas, such as:
> Beans.
> Vegetable, such as : cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprout, etc.
> Fruits, such as : pears, peaches, etc.
> Whole grain, such as : whole wheat and bran.
> Dairy product, such as : milk, cheese, ice cream, and yogurt.
> Package food
> Carbonated drinks
- Avoid eating gum or drink out of straw
Loose dentures may cause people to too much air.
- Slow down
People who eat too fast or do a lot of talking while eating tend to take in lots of air.
- Exercise
Light exercise like stretching, walking could help speed up digestion and prevent gas build up in your body.
It's suggested to take a quick 10-15 minutes walk after meal.
- Drink lots of water
Always drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Sometimes prevention just came too late. Body gas just starting to make your body and muscle pain. I remember getting up in the middle of night feeling pain all over my body and just couldn't even sleep. It an't fun!
