10 Foods to Eliminate Gase

Eating quickly without chewing, eating too much fiber or too much candy, chopping after hours or taking antacids are habits that cause gas.
Eating slowly, in a quiet environment without cold is one of the first steps to promote digestion and avoid annoying gases.

The reason is that the digestive process is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system (the one that predominates when we relax), which gives the order to the secretion glands of gastric juices and, in addition, regulates the movements of the organs and viscera involved in the digestion. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the organism is prepared to make digestion while there is sunlight; hence the importance of dining soon.

The introduction of a greater supply of fiber should be progressive, since our flora is not used and ends up producing belly swelling, malaise and flatulence.
Antacid medicines inhibit the correct acidity of the stomach necessary for the digestion of proteins, which, if not digested, form gases.
