Quitting smoking, getting intense exercise, getting quality sleep, and eliminating certain food categories (including dairy and legumes) can help relieve bloating. British doctor Michael Mosley talks about this said Daily Mail edition.
Simple lifestyle changes can help prevent (or nearly eliminate) gas-related bloating, which is the accumulation of excess gas in the intestines, Mosley said. Research has shown that the most effective measures to prevent bloating are regular physical activity, quality and long (at least seven hours) night sleep and quitting smoking.
The truth is that smoking can cause inflammation in the body, cause digestive problems, and lack of sleep contributes to undesirable changes in the gut microbiome.
The doctor also noted that some people may experience bloating after eating certain foods, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, wheat, legumes, asparagus, onions, artichokes, garlic, apples, cherries, pears and peaches. Some nutritional components in these foods may be poorly digested and enter the large intestine largely undigested, where they are fermented by gas-producing intestinal bacteria.
