Whether on the face, around the eyes or in the abdominal area, there is no denying that swelling can cause enormous discomfort, both physically and emotionally, affecting our self-esteem and the way we feel. Although it is common for many women, there are several causes for feeling bloated — our diet, alcohol consumption, hormonal changes, stress and our daily habits such as physical exercise and sleep (or, better, the lack of them) are just some of the reasons why we wake up with a swollen face or feel that abdominal discomfort.
As always, it's important to listen to our body and pay attention to the signs it gives us when we feel more bloated. For example, if you wake up with a swollen face every time you drink a glass of wine at dinner, try ordering a non-alcoholic cocktail on your next outing with friends.
Or if you experience abdominal bloating whenever you eat cabbage or beans, try to reduce your intake of these types of foods (which increase gas production), include fermented foods in your diet and even keep a food diary to help you discover or rule out sensitivities. or food intolerances.
Furthermore, there are medicinal plants and facial care that are super effective in resolving or alleviating this feeling of swelling — both inside and out. In this article we reveal a complete anti-bloating routine so you can feel like the best version of yourself!
