5. Remove Chinese food from your diet.
Although delicious, Chinese food usually contains large amounts of sodium, which probably makes you swell up even more. For example, one serving of Chinese soup contains the milligrams of sodium you should eat in a week. Mexican food is also one of the foods with the highest amount of sodium.
6. Reduces consumption of sugar-free chewing gum.
Studies have shown that sorbitol (a sugar alcohol used in sugarless chewing gum) takes a long time to be digested. This promotes bacteria fermentation, causing swelling and flatulence. In addition, each time you chew gum, you send a signal to your brain that wakes up the hunger hormones.
