What should I eat to reduce bloating?

There is no miracle food, but a plate built on cooked or roasted vegetables, lean protein, healthy fat (olive oil, avocado) and little salt or ultra-processed food tends to feel lighter. Water through the day and fiber added gradually help digestion work better.

• Swap soda for water, lemon water or unsweetened tea.
• Season with herbs, lemon, garlic and ginger instead of bouillon cubes and bottled sauces, which are high in sodium.
• If beans or chickpeas bother you, soak and rinse them well before cooking.
