Ever felt horribly bloated? - Here are my tips to beat the bloat

I used to (and still do) experience bloating quite bad. I have tried so many things to try to reduced this problem, and i sure went through my trails and errors. Here are some tips i have accumulated over the years. I found that they have really work for me and i hope this helps someone in need of some tips.

Sip Lemon Water
• If you have just a few hours before an event, Karen and Katrina recommend drinking some water with fresh lemon and a little cayenne pepper, for a de-bloating tonic.

Spice It Up
•On that note, you might be bloated because of indigestion or gastrointestinal distress. Cayenne pepper stimulates digestion, eases gas, and can relieve pressure and cramping. It's basically a bloated belly's most formidable match when you're in a bind, so toss a teaspoon into your drink of choice (more options below).

Take Some Turmeric
• Like cayenne pepper, turmeric is a detoxifying spice. The girls buy it in powder form, but you can also get drops of turmeric, and add a teaspoon (in either form) to water, tea, juice, or a smoothie before an event.

Drink Coconut Water
• In addition to water with lemon and cayenne pepper, sip coconut water, which helps to de-bloat. "You really want to stay hydrated to flush out any extra sodium," so just keep sipping the right fluids, they say.

Let me know if any of these work for you and what other effective tips have worked for you in the past.
