This delicate issue is rarely discussed out loud. But it is necessary to know as much as possible about it in order to avoid its appearance. It's about gas formation. It is no secret that most often it occurs if incompatible or gas-forming products are consumed.
First of all, it is, of course, all types of plants of the legume family, such as beans, peas and others. Almost everyone knows about their negative effects on our intestines. And the reason lies in the rich content of complex carbohydrates. There are almost as many of them here as in bread, which is also very difficult to digest. Therefore, not every body, even a completely healthy one, can master them.
Cauliflower, white-headed, broccoli, kohlrabi and other varieties of cabbage are also gas-forming products. They are useful for our body, contain a lot of the substances it needs, but when consumed (especially in large quantities) they form gases in the intestines. To prevent this from happening, you must strictly monitor your diet and limit the consumption of these products.
All types of carbonated mineral water, other carbonated drinks (especially sweet ones), kvass and grape juices are also gas-forming products. Especially severe symptoms will occur after drinking directly from the bottle or with a straw, since in this way we, apart from the gases in the drinks, swallow a fair portion of air.
Fruits, such as figs, peaches, pears and apples, which are so healthy for the body, are also gas-forming foods. They contain sugar, which is the main reason. It is best to eat them before the main course, or use silt separately. Rutabaga, onions and turnips without heat treatment have the same negative effect on our intestines, as well as various types of pickles, smoked meats, spices and canned food. It is necessary to include fatty and spicy sauces.
Some foods may create adverse combinations for our intestines. Each of them has different digestibility, and if you first eat a piece of fatty meat, and then some fruits and sweets, you can cause a very strong increase in gas in the intestines. Therefore, products that promote gas formation in such cases are unsweetened fruits and any kind of dairy products, as well as animal proteins and milk. In no case do not drink food with sweet sparkling water, as this will certainly cause stagnation of a large amount of gas in the intestine and the appearance of a mass of unpleasant sensations. If the predisposition to the occurrence of flatulence is innate, you should take care of yourself even more and exclude such gas-forming foods as meat, watermelons, raisins, bananas, apples and pears. Try to eat them as little as possible or replace them with other products identical in useful properties.
If you list all the possible products that contribute to gas formation, it is necessary to say about such a popular phenomenon in our modern time as chewing gum. Experts recommend chewing it after eating, but not more than a few minutes. Many people are so accustomed to this bad habit - especially young people - that they simply can not do without it and chew from morning to evening, thereby constantly swallowing a certain amount of air. Gradually accumulating, it causes gas formation, belching and other unpleasant sensations. Smoking, especially in large quantities, also swallows large quantities of air. In addition, this habit is simply harmful to our body, therefore, abandonment of it in the most favorable way will affect its condition.
It is amazing how much gas-forming products take up on our table. But you do not need to shift all the blame only to them. Our habit of talking during meals, in a hurry and swallowing food in large pieces also helps to swallow air, which means increased gas formation.
