He discussed dietary adjustments, such as maintaining an optimal balance of daily fiber and water consumption based on body weight, and also recommended adopting mindful eating techniques, such as consuming only 70 percent of capacity and chewing slowly to prevent swallowing air.
Kapil shared that a sedentary lifestyle can slow down metabolism while long-term stress disrupts digestion, suggesting breathing exercises or counseling for relief. He also shared the importance of testing for food intolerances and avoiding late-night meals to improve digestive health. In the video he posted, Kapil said in Hindi: “If you experience flatulence, know the eight reasons behind it and their solutions in 60 seconds.”
According to Kapil, here are 8 reasons for flatulence and easy solutions to cure it:
1. Improper fiber intake
The first reason is eating too much fiber or too little fiber. In both cases, the gut bacteria are not happy and inflammation occurs.
• Solution: You should consume 30 to 35 grams of fiber throughout the day.
2. Improper water intake
Another reason is drinking too much water or too little water. In both the situations your digestion process will be affected.
• Solution: You should drink minimum 30 ml per kilogram of body weight and maximum 40 ml per kilogram of body weight.
3. Eating too fast
The third reason is eating too often. In such a situation, many people start swallowing air, which causes swelling in the stomach.
• Solution: So eat slowly, chew slowly, so that if this is the cause of your bloating, it gets resolved.
4. Overeating
The fourth reason is excessive eating i.e. overeating. In such a situation, the body produces a large amount of acid to digest that food, which causes acidity and swelling.
• Solution: Eat only 70 percent of your capacity. Don’t eat to fill your stomach; Eat food for its nutritional value.
5. Food intolerance
The fifth reason is food intolerance. You may have heard of gluten intolerance or lactose intolerance.
• Solution: The best thing is to get a blood test, called a food intolerance test, and you will know which foods you need to remove from your diet for a few days.
6. Eating late at night
The sixth reason is eating late at night. When you eat dinner late at night, you fall asleep immediately after eating. When you eat food your body temperature increases and when you sleep the temperature decreases. If you sleep immediately after eating, the body will go into a disturbed state, which will lead to problems like bloating and acidity.
7. Sedentary lifestyle
The seventh reason is sedentary lifestyle. Many people even work out for an hour but then remain sitting the whole day. As a result, blood circulation and metabolism in the body become sluggish, leading to increased acidity and inflammation.
• Solution: You need to find a way to be physically active throughout the day.
8. Stress
The eighth reason is last but not least: stress. As soon as you get stressed, stress hormones start increasing in your body, which stops your digestion process and metabolism. This happens because it is necessary for the body to deal with that stressful situation; At that time your digestion, constipation and bloating are not a priority.
• Solution: For this you can do breathing exercises, especially before and after meals. If you want to eliminate this problem permanently, you must work on your thought process and seek counseling.
If swelling persists or is severe, it is always best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying problems.
