Fruits that cause acidity and bloating

Many women do not eat unhealthy and oily, yet there is the problem of bloating. Shouldn’t you know why this happens?

Bloating problem

Some women have problems with bloating by eating unhealthy and oily. Yes, this is possible after eating out for a week. But many women have the problem of bloating even without eating all these things. Shouldn’t you know why this happens? If yes, then let us tell you why this happens.

Many women also have bloating problems with everyday foods. Yes, high fructose (natural sugars) and fiber content cause bloating in many women. Apart from this, they also have the problem of bloating with things like gluten. If you are troubled by the problem of bloating and want to avoid it, then avoid eating these 12 foods too much from today. 

Apple

You might not believe that bloating can cause problems with apples as well. But it is true, many women have problems with bloating by eating more apples. Although apple is considered very famous and healthy fruit, but it contains high amount of fructose and fiber. And both of these components can cause bloating. To avoid this problem, you should replace apples with other fruits like bananas, blueberries, grapes, oranges, or strawberries.

Curd

Due to low fat and no sugar, many women have problems of bloating by eating curd. So avoid eating plain yogurt. Many dairy products can also cause bloating, and if you continue to have this problem, you should make sure that you do not have lactose intolerance. If you are, then you should avoid taking more of the dairy product. Homemade nut milk may be good for you.

Garlic

Yes, you use raw garlic a lot to make food tasty. But due to raw garlic also you may have the problem of bloating. You should use properly cooked garlic instead of raw garlic. Alternatively, you can use chives instead of garlic to taste.

Grains

Due to wheat, rye and barley, the problem of bloating makes many women very upset. They are very high in fiber as well as gluten. And if you eat too much of it, it can cause stomach upset. If you also have problems with these grains, then you can replace grains like oats, brown rice, quinoa and buckwheat.

Watermelon

Everyone’s favorite fruit in summer, watermelon, can also be the cause of bloating in many women. You might not believe it, but it is true that watermelon is rich in fructose which can cause inflammation. You can substitute bananas, blueberries, grapes, orange, or strawberries instead of watermelon.

Dried fruit

Dried fruits also contain a lot of fructose and it causes a lot of women to overeat. Therefore, you can take citrus fruits and berries instead. Because it contains very little fructose content.

Onion

Like garlic, onion can cause bloating. Therefore, cook small quantity of onion instead of raw and use it well. If possible, you can use spices or herbs like asafoetida and a green portion of spring onion instead of onion to increase the taste.

Beans

Probably most women are aware of the problem of bloating with beans. Although beans contain many healthy proteins and carbs, they also have high fiber content and may cause problems for many women. Instead of eating beans, you can take light-colored lentils. Fiber is usually low but must be soaked before eating.

Lentils

Lentils contain a high amount of fiber as well as indigestible sugars that increase bloating. But if you have to take it too, then for some time, soak it in cold water by adding lemon juice or vinegar and use it. This reduces the problem of bloating.

Broccoli

Other coniferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are thought to cause bloating. You can substitute spinach, cucumber, lettuce, sweet potato or zucchini.

Carbonated drinks

You can also have bloating problems with all types of fizzy drinks. Therefore, it is better to keep distance from it. And you can replace it with healthier options like water and fresh fruit juice.

Beer

It is the main cause of inflammation, with grain being the main ingredient in beer. If you take it and want to avoid bloating, then you can replace it with red or white wine.

Keeping these things in mind, you can easily avoid bloated stomach.

2. Absence of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is important for the nutrition of your body. It helps in making red blood cells. It is true that vitamin B12 is found most in animal products, especially in eggs and milk products.

Digestive activity is maintained by drinking water and there is no problem like gas, constipation or bloating.

5. Forget about iron

There is no doubt that meat (meat) is an important source of vitamins, minerals as well as iron. The body quickly absorbs the type of iron present in meat. In such a situation, this problem is caused due to non-inclusion of meat in the vegan diet. Therefore, it is very important to include food items such as lentils, beans, cereals, nuts, seed grains, oats etc. in the diet while following your diet

These reasons make vegan diet unhealthy

A vegan person is unable to include animal protein in his diet and uses soy protein instead. In such a situation it is necessary to use tofu, soy milk and other things. Experts believe that this sometimes causes hormonal problems. At the same time, in addition to vitamin B12, there is also a lack of zinc absorption in the vegan diet. Trouble also increases due to this. There is also the possibility of increasing blood sugar at times while vegan diet. Many times carbohydrate foods are consumed in excess. Vegan diet is also considered to be unhealthy because while eating this diet, there is a problem of eating disorder at times. If you have the problem of overeating, anytime you feel hungry, then you can eat anything at any time. They believe that this diet leads to severe deficiency of vitamin B12, iron and protein and after that you are prone to many diseases. They clearly say that they give all the information to their clients and tell them what kind of problem they may face in the vegan diet. But if they still do not believe then they advise them to take vegan diet.

Healthy vegan diet, but you should get plenty of nutrients

It is absolutely true that you should not try to ignore your nutrients while following vegan diet. If you too follow such a diet, it is very important to know its nutrients.

How‌ ‌to‌ ‌Remove‌ ‌tan‌ ‌with‌ ‌Ayurveda‌ ‌ ‌

Everybody starts worrying about protecting the skin from the sun as soon as the heat comes. The problem of suntan in this season makes the skin so stained that you do not even recognize your true complexion. Sun tanning causes so much damage to the skin that the skin turns black or there is a feeling that the skin is burnt. The skin of the face is more sensitive, so the sun’s harmful rays affect it the most. Due to these harmful rays, the skin of the face starts to feel dry and lifeless. Generally people think that only in the summer season there is a problem of suntan, but the truth is that suntan can destroy the facial glow if it is in the sun for long or in any season.

What is suntan?

The skin of our body is so sensitive that the environment around us has a profound effect on it. Pollution, sun, rain, cold, heat, wind and dust all affect our skin. If we do not take care of them constantly, then due to these, we get many types of skin problems. A similar problem is sun tanning, in which the skin gets burnt by sunlight and red rashes occur on it. Sun tanning causes a lot of damage to the skin and the skin starts to turn black as well. The skin of the face is more sensitive, so the sun’s harmful rays affect it the most. Due to the effect of these harmful rays, the skin of the face starts to feel dry and lifeless. It also absorbs the moisture of the skin, so due to this, the effect of wrinkles starts appearing on the face and symptoms of premature aging appear on the face.

Why is suntan?

As we discussed earlier, suntan is caused by the harmful rays of the sun. The strong rays of the sun also absorb the moisture of the skin, so the effect of wrinkles starts on the face before time. Falling in sunlight has its effect on the skin in two ways – one which shows immediate effect and the other which shows a gradual effect. To show immediate effect means that the skin changes its color quickly due to exposure to the sun. This is often seen in people who are white. Although their skin is not black. But those who are light dark colored people, their skin becomes black. Lifestyle and diet also have their own role behind being suntan.

  • Going out of the sun without a cap and glasses.
  • Not using sunscreen before exiting the sun can also result in sun tanning.
  • By standing or walking for long hours in the sun.
  • Excessive consumption of street food can cause tanning.
  • Going to the market without umbrellas in the heat of the day can change the skin tone.

Symptoms of Suntan

  • Warmth of the skin.
