Save Your Stomach :p

Yoooo peeps! It's been a week since I made my first blog and wrote my first article about myself. And honestly, I'm really confused about what I'm gonna write on this one. I've been thinking for minutes and I think I've just find something to share. 

So, for the last few days, I'd been eating less in my breakfast time, bcs my weight loss suddenly stopped and I didn't know why. At school, I sat right at the position to where the air conditioner bursts its wind. Yeah you know that this situation is very supporting if you want to have the bloated-stomachh-experience.. ahahaha jk! You'll never want to experience that. Based on the story above, I want to share some things to prevent y'all from having a bloated-stomach.

1.     NEVER suddenly reduce your breakfast in a great amount - you may reduce it, but through step by step. Why? Because it's too sudden, your stomach won't be ready. The space which used to be filled by food, will be filled by gas produced by your own stomach. That's why if you want to reduce your breakfast, reduce it gradually, so the gas produced won't be too much and won't cause you any unwell feeling.

2.     Know your soon-to-face condition - before deciding to do something, you have to know the situation you're going to face. If you know that your teacher places you at the wind-bursted place, you have to fill your stomach with the amount of food needed by your stomach. You have to prepare your body well by giving it what it needs in order to avoid uncomfortable feelings in your body.

3.     Adjust your body posture and position - if you manage to be placed/place yourself in a windy area, you have to pay attention on your body posture. If you're sitting, bend your stomach so there is no room for wind to fill. If you're standing, just walk away and find something to cover you from the wind (such as wall, rock, etc).

Those are some tips to prevent the bloated-stomach. But what if you have no chance to prevent it and the wind just succeeds in filling your belly? What should you do?

1.     Double (or even triple!) your meal portion - if you have a bloated-stomach, it means that you haven't eaten enough and your body is asking for more. Doube or triple your meal portion to push the gas outside your body so your stomach will be filled by a real food. Don't be afraid of the weight-gain! If you push the gas by eating clean, trust me, there won't be any weights to gain. But if you cure your stomach by eating randomly without marking on the food's fat and sugar, you'll likely gain weight(s). 

2.     (Unless you can't move due to the unwell feeling) Do exercises! - exercising will push the gas out since you move your body. Exercising won't make your body worse, it makes it better. 

3.     Drink hot water a lot - Drinking water will stimulate your metabolism since the water you drink has to be absorbed and processed in your body through the metabolism. The more metabolism occurs, the more gas will come out from your body, because your internal organs' muscles will work and they will push the gas out from your body.

4.     Do not consume anything spicy - spiciness will only stimulate your stomach to produce more gases.

5.     Do not consume any dairy products with the lactose contain - dairy products contain lactose which can create excessive gas in your intestine (especially for those who suffer the lactose intolerance [they can't consume the lactose well since they have less lactase enzyme in their body. Lactose without being properly digested will create excessive gas).

6.     Do not consume food containing vitamin C too much - high doses of vitamin C (more than 2000 mg daily) can cause gas in your stomach.

7.     Do not consume starchy food - Starch (carbohydrate) is difficult to digest. In order to break it down, it takes process which can cause intestinal gas. Starchy food includes corn, potato, bread, cereal, pasta, etc. Unlike its 'friends', rice doesn't seem to create intestinal gas.

8.     Do not consume high-sugar/fat food - sugar and fat take a lot of work in order to digest them. The more work your digestive tract do, the more gas will be produced. This is also the reason why you have to fill your stomach cleanly, beside the weight-gain thing.

9.     Do not consume food containing soluble fiber - Beans, nuts, cabbage, broccoli, and other vegetables with the similar texture contain the soluble fiber, which can cause intestinal gas.

10. DO NOT DRINK ANY TEA - tea will cause gas formation and indigestion, so it will make your stomach become worse

Yeahh I know there are so many things to do to cure the bloating. But if you do it properly and correctly, I promise that your stomach will be cured and you'll feel much better! The sign of your stomach-healing can be different from other people. But for me, the sign is when I fart much! HAHAHAH it's disgusting and weird ikr! Actually that fact makes me realize that everything God gives to us is meant to be thanked. Even if it seems useless, disgusting, annoying (like fart x))), actually it takes an important role in our health. Now, everytime I fart, I thank God because I know that my body's condition is well and normal XD! 

I hope the tips above can help you to feel better and maintain your body's health!
