Bloating is more than just discomfort—it’s often a sign of gut imbalances, poor digestion, or food intolerances. Many people assume bloating is normal, but frequent bloating can signal deeper issues like SIBO, IBS, or gut dysbiosis.
Common culprits include poorly digested foods (like dairy, legumes, and high-FODMAP vegetables), eating too quickly, dehydration, and even stress. Simple fixes like chewing food thoroughly, incorporating ginger and peppermint, staying hydrated, and managing stress can make a significant difference.
Long-term gut health impacts overall longevity. Chronic bloating may indicate low-grade inflammation, nutrient malabsorption, and metabolic dysfunction—all factors linked to aging. Supporting gut health with whole foods, fermented foods, fasting, and mindful eating can improve digestion and extend healthspan.
