Brides and Bloating - Prevent bloating before your wedding day
Your big day is just two weeks away and with your crazy schedule
at work and at home and the fact that you've been eating poorly
and are all stressed out it suddenly occurs to you..."what if I
retain water and end up all bloated and feeling like a soggy
marshmallow in my dream wedding dress?"
You have spent countless hours planning and dreaming about your
wedding day which is now fast approaching. As you count down the
days the panic begins to set in. How do I prevent the all too
familiar pre-wedding bloating experienced by so many brides on
their wedding day?
Naturally, we as women may think, I will simply starve myself
and not drink a lot of liquids for a few days before my wedding.
If I do so perhaps this will help drop a bit of weight and
reduce some of that nasty cellulite on my body...right? Wrong!
Did you know that water retention is directly linked to what you
eat, drink and your daily habits?
Bloating is caused primarily by dehydration. The loss of water
in the body can cause constipation. And the corresponding lack
of bowel movements creates the tummy bulge.
Here are six tips to follow for at least 1-2 weeks prior to your
big day:
1. Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day. Drinking less fluid will
not cure water retention and can actually make it worse. So
drink plenty of water to flush the toxins from your body.
Cellulite is a form of fat with retained water. When the body
cannot get rid of the wastes and toxins it tends to store
cellulite.
2. Try to eliminate salts and refined sugars from your diet. If
you can't eliminate these types of foods then at least cut down
on their use as much as you possible can.
3. Get some exercise. Go for a brisk walk, even if it is just
10 minutes. Movement helps you lymphatic system drain and
gets
the blood pumping which increases circulation. Did you know poor
circulation can cause water retention?
4. Don't skip meals. Much as you may think this is wise, low
calorie diets have been shown to increase water retention. But
do avoid high fat foods. Incorporate protein in your daily
routine. While you are running around getting all the last
minute details finished remember to reach for a yogurt, some
cottage cheese or make yourself a protein shake. One of the most
important nutrients to prevent water retention is protein.
5. Cut down on caffeine and alcohol. These liquids cause
dehydration, plus they are empty calories.
6. Take a good multivitamin. Find one that has a high content
of Vitamin B (12 and 6). Stress robs your body of essential
vitamins, plus you are probably not eating as healthy as you
should. Vitamin B is especially good to take when you are under
stress, or have bloating. I always take a daily multivitamin but
supplement them with a good B vitamin.
Of course it goes without saying that you should also try your
best to get proper and sufficient sleep during this stressful
period.
If you can follow these six simple, natural yet highly effective
guidelines then you'll look better, feel better and be as
radiant as a bride should be on her wedding day. Take charge and
eliminate that unnecessary and unwelcome pre-wedding bloating!
