There’s nothing worse than the tight, pressured feeling of a bloated belly; when you slip on those skinny jeans – that were satisfyingly loose yesterday! – and struggle to do up the zip. You know you can’t possibly gain weight overnight, so it can only mean one thing: you’re bloated. While the causes of bloating can vary, from a medical intolerance to an over-indulgence of sweet foods the night before, there are certain foods you can consume to reduce bloating in the short-term. So the next time you feel uncomfortably ‘full’ even though you haven’t eaten, here’s what to reach for!

1. A tub of plain Greek yoghurt

Yoghurts contain probiotics that aid digestion and create ‘healthy’ gut flora, which is known to reduce bloating. Try adding a few blueberries or grapefruit slices for added zing and vitamin C.

2. A banana

3. Warm water with lemon and ginger

Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, while lemon juice mimics the digestive juices in the stomach, breaking down fat and helping process whatever is causing you to bloat.

4. Honeydew melon and pineapple

Like lemons, pineapples can help break down proteins that cause bloating with their enzymes. Honeydew melons have a diuretic property that reduces water retention.

5. Asparagus

Believe it or not, asparagus also has diuretic properties that can help reduce fluid retention (in other words, you’ll need to go to the toilet more often!). Just make sure you balance this with plenty of plain water.

6. Dark chocolate

Yes, that’s right! A few pieces of plain dark chocolate, with at least 75% cocoa solids, can help reduce bloating due to the chocolate’s anti-inflammatory properties once in the gut.

7. Kale, spinach or lettuce

While some greens, like brussels sprouts, will cause bloating, these leafy greens will reduce bloating by easing water retention. Try combining all three with banana into a smoothie for a nutritious hit.

What should I drink first in the morning?

Water. My favorite morning beverage is always water, first and foremost. Your body is deprived of water when you sleep, so it is best to rehydrate with water first thing before anything else. I then follow with coffee or a homemade matcha tea latte for a caffeinated boost.

My favorite morning beverage is always water, first and foremost. Your body is deprived of water when you sleep, so it is best to rehydrate with water first thing before anything else. I then follow with coffee or a homemade matcha tea latte for a caffeinated boost.

—Alanna Waldron, R.D., founder of Eats Real Food

I won't win any points for originality or pioneering a groundbreaking new oat milk golden matcha collagen latte, but I want to take this opportunity to drive home an important point: My morning beverage of choice is...(drumroll)...a tall glass of filtered water. And here's why: A tall glass of water is one of the best ways to release the gunk your detoxification mechanisms dislodged overnight, and it cues your body to have a bowel movement like clockwork in the morning (yes, even better than coffee). Sip the water and relax for a few minutes, then make your way to your Squatty Potty throne. Breakfast of champions.
