SLIMMING TIPS

✣ Avoid drinking too much liquid at mealtimes as it can hinder the digestion process – but drink water at other times (6-8 glasses a day).

✣ Cut back on salt – a high salt intake can contribute to water retention and bloating.

✣ Focus on fibre – 90% of women in the UK don’t get enough fibre in their diet, which is the main cause of a sluggish digestion and bloating.

✣ Stress and poor eating habits deplete good bacteria in the gut, which can lead to bloating. A probiotic yogurt daily may help to keep your digestive system happy and healthy.
