Feeling Bloated Today? Eat a Banana
POSTED June 2, 11:10 AM
Feeling a little bloated today? Are the jeans fitting a little tight around the waist? Eating too much sodium could be the blame. This includes any processed foods, frozen dinners, canned soups, deli meats, and certain condiments that are included in your diet.

One inexpensive way to help you feel more comfortable in your jeans would be to eat bananas. According to fitfare.net,

“ Eating potassium-rich foods will help combat bloat because potassium counterbalances sodium—which causes water retention and bloating—and has a diuretic effect on the body. So by eating foods that are high in potassium, you can reduce bloating naturally.”

Although there are many foods that contain potassium, Budget Girl’s preferred pick is bananas because of its low price point and convenient packaging for a quick snack on-the-go.

If bananas are not your favorite, here is a list of other high potassium foods:

  • Avocado
  • Edamame
  • Sweet Potato
  • Spinach
  • Tomato Sauce (also contains  Lypocene)
  • Orange Juice
  • Kiwi
