Dehydration leads to water retention which leaves you with headaches, an irritable mood, stress, anxiety, dry skin, breakouts, and probably the most noticeable on women? A bloated belly. Dehydration = water retention and the only way to get rid of it is to simply drink more water.

IMG 0035 how to: get rid of the extra belly bloat

Assuming you’re eating relatively well, exercising a few times a week and keep your sodium intakes in check, the belly bloat will disappear fast once you up your water. Add in some fresh squeezed lemon and you’ll help speed up the process even faster.

Aim for drinking enough water so that your urine is clear. For most this is at least 2 liters a day – especially over the holidays while we’re indulging a little more than usual. Start upping your water intake now and you should notice a major improvement in your belly by new year!

About Amanda

I'm Amanda. I started Natural Mommie in 2009 and have been turning mommies from eco-weak to eco-chic ever since! Having an intense addiction to sparkly pink strawberry flavored lipgloss and never claiming to be perfectly green I vowed to not give up my hip mama self once I became a mom and wanted to bring a little more organic into my life. My closet still isn’t full of organic cotton and bamboo, but it’s getting there!
