Are you feeling bloated and don’t know what else to do? Everything you eat is making you bloated? Over the over-the-counter medication no longer working for you? Trust me, I get it – been there, lived that life, and now I can confidently say I have found a natural remedy solution – that has worked for me and I believe it can work for you too :)!
There is nothing worse than feeling bloated all day long. For years I have been trying to get rid of the bloating feeling and nothing was working. I know I am not the only one that despises this bloating feeling so I am going to share with you what I have done that has made a significant change in my gut health.
The biggest challenge I was facing was finding something that I could either eat or drink and not make me bloated. I wanted a natural remedy to solve my bloating problem. I was getting tired of having to take over-the-counter medication every time I thought about eating certain foods and having no results.
Throughout the years I had doctor’s appointments that I would mention about the bloating and honestly felt dismissed and was told to continue taking over-the-counter medication to help. That was not the answer I was looking for.
During the process of trying to figure out how to get rid of the bloating feeling, I learned a lot about gut health and which foods were making me feel bloated. I focused on the process of elimination where I would cut out certain foods for a period and then reintroduce them to see if they were making me bloated.
During this entire process, all I wanted was to feel “normal” again and I learned that my body didn’t process certain foods like it used to.
As a woman, I know my body is constantly changing – with “age”, motherhood, stress, and everything else in between. But I also noticed the bloating was just getting worse and was affecting me daily. My main goal was to find something natural and to be a long-term solution because I was tired of worrying that every time I ate I would feel bloated.
I have always been more of a natural gal and I prefer to eat fresh food, daily home-cooked meals, and try to avoid as many processed foods as I can. Even with a “healthier” eating lifestyle bloating can happen and was happening to me. It has not been a fun journey I will admit, but I have come across a natural remedy that has helped me and it is now part of my daily routine.
This simple natural remedy is a morning lemon shot on an empty stomach.
Lemons has many amazing benefits for the body. Lemon is rich in Vitamin C, aids digestion, it’s an alkalizing citrus when metabolized, it has antibacterial properties, it’s hydrating, helps prevents bad breath bacteria and contains potassium which can also help regulate blood pressure.
Here is what you will need for this simple morning ritual:
- 1 Yellow Lemon (squeezed)
- 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- Dash of turmeric
- Dash of cayenne pepper powder
For the turmeric and cayenne pepper, I would suggest starting with a very small amount and adjusting the taste to your preference. I like the taste of cayenne pepper so some mornings I will add more for an extra kick.
I have been drinking this morning lemon shot faithfully for over 6 months now. This lemon shot combination has helped keep the bloating away and even noticed that I am also feeling much better health-wise.
Another great benefit I have noticed since starting the daily lemon shot is the decrease in my belly fat. It’s diminished enough that I see the difference in how my clothing fits me now and I can say it’s not only the bloating.
The morning lemon shot has been amazing for me and I will continue to drink it daily!
