Do you already feel pressure in your abdomen at the end of a meal and just a few minutes after eating bloating appears accompanied by a distended belly? You are not alone; bloating and poor digestion caused by an unhealthy diet, various allergies, or the use of medications cause air to accumulate in the intestines and result in flatulence. Industrially processed or fermented foods are also problematic, as they increase the presence of intestinal gases. The solution can of course be various pharmaceutical preparations from the pharmacy, but you can also try a natural drink that is cheaper and at the same time much more effective. Its preparation is moreover very easy!
Stressful situations lead to increased bloating
Today’s hectic life combined with a large dose of stress affects our organism and, of course, our digestion as well. Besides consuming unsuitable foods, stress is the main culprit of bloating, because when stressed breathing accelerates and as a result a person swallows much more air. An adult then expels intestinal gases from the body on average about ten times a day, including, among others, sulfur dioxide.
Inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract
What happens when these conditions persist, stress does not decrease, and the diet remains unchanged? With long-term bloating and increased flatulence, inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract also occur, such as catarrh, intestinal syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, or ulcerative colitis, and the sensitivity of the intestinal mucosa to foods, lactose, or gluten also worsens. Another accompanying phenomenon is often constipation.
Mint drink tackles gases
In such moments you can reach for various pharmacological preparations, but you can get rid of flatulence naturally. It is good primarily to chew caraway seeds after a meal, which allow digestion to proceed more quickly and efficiently. They also relieve bloating, which is why tea made from caraway and fennel seeds is recommended. In addition, prepare a miraculous mint drink that requires nothing more than 20 grams of mint and a cup of water. Let the crushed mint steep in the water for several hours and drink it. You can drink 2–3 cups of this beverage daily. You will see how quickly digestion stabilizes and intestinal gas will no longer trouble you.
