Best tips to help boating?

Milk products can cause bloating & also Gluten as well. You may Not even know if you have a sensitivity to gluten or dairy. I've 90% cut out Gluten and dairy from my diet and OMG it has made a difference. I've been using Almond Milk (I'm not sure if you have a Trader Joes where you live but there brand is the best in my opinion). Since I love bread, I still eat it but I eat Gluten Freen bread I stead. Udi's Gluten Free is really good.

Peppermint tea is helpful for bloating as well is asparagus & dandelion tea.

Hey Guys,

Are you watching the America's cup race? They really know their boat stuff for sure. I'd say keep the hull facing down, the sail up, and the wind at your back.

Good shoes are important to make sure you have a good grip on the deck.

drink water..lots of it..it will help release all of the water weight that you have stored up ...

I just came back from vacation and had about two pound gain from water retention/bloat ..spent all weekend slamming water and other fluids, and by this morning was down a pound and a half in reduced bloat...

This for sure

I'd keep at least one life jacket per person and one extra on hand. Non-skid shoes. Sunscreen.

For bloating, try to isolate the offending item by adding new items to your diet slowly, so you can figure out what's causing it. Eating smaller quantities of something might be OK while too much will cause problems. Bloating can also be caused by acid reflux (it is in my case, and I have no other symptoms of GERD) which can be managed medically or by diet. Good luck!

If you really meant boating, I have no advice, lol.

If you meant bloating:
Eat a banana. Or a salad with lots of greens and tomatoes. Or even a glass of low-sodium V8 vegetable juice. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

We all know that sodium increases water retention. So, reducing sodium is one tip. Reducing sodium may help prevent some bloating to begin with, and avoid exacerbating it if you're already bloated.

However, sodium is not the only piece of the puzzle, and this seems to be something most people aren't aware of. Sodium is balanced by potassium in the body. Whereas Sodium has to do with fluid retention, potassium is responsible for balance in the other direction--shedding fluid.

For this reason, potassium is also very helpful in lowering blood pressure in many cases; that's actually how I first learned of the effects of potassium.

Two major warnings to take with this information: If you have kidney problems, you need to avoid potassium. Also, a potassium overdose can kill you. If you have kidney problems, talk to your doctor. EAT potassium, don't take a pill. Apart from removing the possibility of an overdose, eating potassium-rich foods of course provide many other nutrients. You'll find this also does wonders for acid reflux.

My best anti-bloating tips:

1. apple cider vinegar (I drink a shot of it straight up!)

2. Water moves water! Drink up but don't go too crazy...10 cups does the trick...but not at once, of course.

3. If you are really serious and can be super disciplined, try a day of nothing but grapefruit and eggs! Sounds whacko but it really works. I haven't done this in a long time, but I have done it before. Allow generous quantities of grapefruit and eggs so that it isn't a fasting day...you'll drop a few pounds of water simply by taking a day like this every once in awhile!

Hahahahaha :bigsmile: epic blonde moment!
