4 Reasons for Bloating and Tummy Bulge

Updated from 13 January, 2015. Bloating is a issue which I have personally faced and seeing it with my friends and family. Mr. P bloats up a lot! Anything and he bloats and then it becomes gas in the tummy. Rice, fried foods, even untimely munching bloats him up.  And, this is a problem with everyone today whose lifestyle does not follow a routine. Eating at correct times in sufficient quantities is a good way to start fighting gastric problems. Anyways, let us get back to the post and see what five reasons could be causing your bloating.


My colleague always used to complain about chocolate. She used to hate it, not because of diet reasons which she was obviously conscious of!! But, because after eating chocolate, her tummy used to come out.

Have you ever noticed your tummy bulges after having meals or anything in particular? I have never noticed when it precisely happens to me but it does happen. I think it helps to keep track of what we are eating (a food journal) to overcome these issues. What do you say??

Leaving that aside, I wanted to discuss what all could cause bloating in the body!! The reasons can range from in-taking too much of salt causing water retention to irritable bowel syndrome to even hormonal issues!! Though salt is the biggest reason why you can be bloated, there are quite a lot of other reasons too.

3 Eco-Friendly Ways to make Your Home smell Amazing

S&S Partners · May 23, 2018 · 2 Comments

essential oils, make your home smell amazing

If you have been a regular reader of the blog, you would already be aware of the fact that I love using essential oils. I use them in all possible places and diffusing is one of my favorite ways to relax. Diffusers are the easiest ways to make your home smell amazing. Many say burning aromatic candles gives the same feel but then I have not really come across the good ones.

Do you know that essential oils have effects on our emotional brain? Smells can evoke memories more powerfully than any other sense.

Is it not the case that we think of doing all amazing stuff in our own homes to make it look and smell awesome, things which we can never do in rented places sometimes.  I got specific electric points or internal wiring done for installing electric diffusers, for example, and I also installed lot of yellow lights as opposed to the harsh white ones for comforting evenings.

Have you tried out reed diffusers to make your home smell amazing? Recently, I gave them a try though I am still not sure of my stand on them. I prefer electric diffusers to them. Tea light candle diffusers are amazing too and do not heat up the room like electric ones but they get way more expensive in the long run, thanks to the expensive and eco-friendly tea light candles. Oh, that reminds me, I can make my own tea light candles, duh! The next project in line.

How to take care of Health post 30?

Keep an eye on your Bone Health and Muscle Mass

Though it is projected for women more, the bone density of men also suffers once they hit 30. So, man or woman, it is time to increase your calcium intake and exposure to sunlight. Keep an eye on those vitamin D levels to keep stress and fatigue away, and to ensure proper absorption of calcium.

Just like your bones get old and frail, so do your muscles lose their mass by almost 5% every decade. Health post 30 is not exactly a cake walk so make sure to would include physical activities and variance in your workout routine every 4-6 weeks, so that your muscles do not get used to the same movements and go through a little variation now and then.
