Q What habits should I build to reduce gas and bloating?
A Chewing slowly and thoroughly, a light 10-minute walk after meals, cutting back on carbonation, gum, and straws, and regular meal times are key. Many people see nearly a 50% reduction just by keeping these four.
Detailed Answer
How you eat often matters more than the meal itself. Chew each bite 20–30 times and eat slowly, and instead of sitting right after meals, walk lightly even for 10 minutes to revive bowel movement. Straws, gum, and carbonated drinks make you swallow a lot of air, so cutting back is good. Irregular meal times disrupt bowel rhythm and increase gas.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
