We know you're spending plenty of time getting your body bikini ready with
healthy food and fun workouts. Finding the
most flattering
suits for your body is a great start, but being equipped with as many tools
as possible will help you feel confident before running around on the beach.
Don't be concerned about extra bloat before you rock your bikini! Here are six
foods to avoid right before you hit the beach.
- Carbonated drinks: While you've hopefully taken the initiative to say
goodbye to soda for good, sparkling water can be a decent substitute if you
can't get enough of those bubbles. With that said, it's best to avoid any
carbonated drinks before you hit the beach to steer clear of unnecessary belly
bulge or gas.
- Salt: Supersalty foods or added salt don't necessarily make you
gassy, but they definitely make you retain water. Even though those cantina
chips and salsa may seem like the ideal prebeach grub, opt for something with
lower levels of sodium to help you feel your best before you head to the ocean.
- Cruciferous veggies: They're great foods for long-term weight loss,
but if there's one time not to chow down on a heaping helping of broccoli,
cabbage, or kale, it's right before you hit the beach! These veggies contain a
complex sugar called raffinose that's known to cause some lovely bloat.
- Gum: Chewing on gum may seem harmless for your debloating cause, but
it can actually cause your belly to swell. The reason makes sense: you're
swallowing large amounts of air.
- Sugary mixed drinks: While rum runners and piña coladas are nearly
synonymous with dreamy resort beaches, all that extra sugar is not helping your
cause. Between natural sugars and the artificial sweeteners found in these cool
drinks, the high levels of fructose can make you bloat.
- Dairy: If you've got any form of lactose intolerance, then avoid
dairy before you hit the beach. Between gas, bloating, and other belly
discomforts, it's your best bet just to say no.
