Bloating is a common digestive issue caused mostly by diet, although it could be symptomatic of a deeper underlying issue, if it occurs very frequently, it requires a visit to the doctor.
 

Here are 5 foods that will not only help reduce bloating, it will also keep your stomach trim.



1. Peppermint:   
 



Known for its anti-bloating properties, peppermint has a calming and relaxing effect on an irritated stomach. It eases the digestive tract muscles. It is very useful for those suffering from IBS and cramps. A cup of peppermint tea does wonders.




2. Egg whites:
 

 

Eating egg whites are helpful in reducing bloating. This is because the high protein content found in them acts as a diuretic.

4. Bananas:     
 



Potassium-rich bananas help fight bloating caused by salty-rich food. The potassium helps drive out the water retention caused by salty foods. Ensure that you eat only ripe bananas to get rid of bloating and uneasiness.
