When one consumes additional air via food or carbonated beverages; it fills the intestines similarly to the inflation of a balloon. A method used to prevent this occurrence is drinking liquids slowly from a cup and to not rush through eating. When one devours food in a hurry, they end up swallowing a high amount of gas-producing air, usually without noticing. Avoiding carbonated drinks and chewing gum is another way to prevent bloating, while always being on the move and exercising to keep the excess air inside the body circulating.
