5 Foods That'll Flatten Your Stomach (no Exercise Required) by Oviej: 9:58pm On Sep 10, 2013
[Zip up those skinny jeans with ease.] Zip up those skinny jeans with ease.It's finally September, which means it is time to get excited to pull out our autumn scarves and slip back into our skinny jeans. But just when you thought you were safe ("Phew! The pressure of bikini season is over!"wink, there is a chance that as you tried to zip up your jeans, you came in contact with an uncomfortable obstacle-bloating.
We've all experienced it-that sensation of fullness and swelling in the abdomen. This feeling is not only physically uncomfortable but also may affect our mood and self-esteem. So why does it happen and how can we stop it?

We all will experience bloating from time to time. Often caused by natural processes during digestion, bloating is typically triggered by the accumulation of fluid or production of gas in the body. However, bloating is not always caused by too much gas, but rather, how the body handles that gas.
Now for the good news: The occasional puff up can be reduced through some wise food choices and lifestyle changes. To ward off the inflation, try these bloat-blocking foods to feel like yourself again.www.oviejhealth..com
Rice (fully digested carbohydrates): Some foods, especially certain carbohydrates, are either indigestible or only partially digested in the gut. These foods can cause gas buildup and therefore bloating. According to American College of Gastroenterology, rice and rice flour make a good substitute for starches such as wheat, oats, corn and potatoes. Rice is fully digested in the small intestines, giving it the least potential to form gases in the gut.
Banana (potassium): Bloating is not always gas-related. High sodium intake could be the culprit. Hiding in most of today's processed foods and restaurant items, sodium attracts and retains water in the body. Potassium on the other hand, can help counter sodium's role. Maintaining your overall potassium-sodium level is important for water balance. If your bloat is a result of yesterday's salty dinner, try adding sliced banana to your morning oatmeal for some balance

@Oviej
I am surprised rice is included as a "stomach-flattener."
