Bloating is an uncomfortable feeling that many people experience at some point in their lives. It occurs when the abdomen feels full, tight, and swollen.

1 teaspoon grated ginger
10 fresh mint leaves
2 liters of water

Mix all the ingredients in a large pitcher and refrigerate overnight. Drink the entire pitcher throughout the day for best results. You can also add ice cubes to make it more refreshing.

How does this drink work?

Each ingredient in this drink has a specific function that contributes to relieving bloating.

Cucumber

Cucumber is high in water content, making it an ideal hydrating ingredient that assists with fluid retention.

It also contains the digestive enzyme called “erepsin”, which helps digest protein and eliminates bloating associated with protein digestion.

Lemon

Lemon contains citric acid, which helps to stimulate hydrochloric acid production, the main stomach acid that breaks down food in your stomach. This helps to prevent the buildup of gas and bloating.

Ginger

Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps to relax the muscles in the digestive tract, allowing food to move more easily through the digestive system and decreasing bloating.

Mint Leaves

Mint has carminative properties, which means it helps to calm the stomach and reduce gas and bloating.

Water

Water is essential in order to keep the digestive system working properly. It helps to flush out toxins and waste, which can contribute to bloating.
