GO TO THE LOO
Constipation is a common cause of bloating, but eating fibre helps. A healthy amount is 30g a day, so increase your intake if necessary. Choose wholegrain breakfast cereals and bread, wholewheat pasta and couscous, bulgar wheat and brown rice. Ancient grains, such as quinoa, amaranth, barley and buckwheat are also high in fibre.
Fill your water bottle
Staying well hydrated throughout the day stops fluid retention. If you deprive your body of fluids it goes into ‘famine’ mode
