Simple Ways to Reduce Bloating

When you learn how many foods and conditions might lead to bloated stomachs, you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking all of us should be either doubled over in pain or tooting tunes all day.

It seems, though, that every body process inputs differently, so that most of the time, only about 25% of the population feels that sense of being full, or uncomfortable in the stomach; in other words, bloated. But all of us feel bloated every so often.

How to Reduce Cortisol Levels When Stress Gets the Best of You

Cortisol is a naturally occurring hormone that your adrenal gland produces and, in small and well-timed doses, it is good for many things. Most famously, it is the jolt behind the “fight or flight” response you feel when threatened. Whether you are fighting or flying, your adrenal gland will pump up the cortisol to give you the extra energy you need to face the consequences.

When cortisol levels increase to high levels and stay there — which happens when you are regularly stressed out by work, love, or anything else — the symptoms are akin to an overdose. That’s why cortisol is called the “stress hormone,” as the Cleveland Clinic reports.

Keep Your Gut Happy With A Good Dose of Bacteria

Although discoveries about the human intestinal system are occurring all the time, it’s not exactly new news that a healthy gut is very important to your overall well-being.

So, what is this “flora” everyone is talking about?

Your gut — and everyone else’s — is filled with microscopic bacteria, also called flora, that make up what is called the microbiome in your intestine. Flora generally keep your organs running smoothly and specifically help to break down food into nutrients and chemicals that every body needs. When your gut is out of balance, you probably don’t have as much energy and you could be more likely to get sick.
