Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated is super important, especially during the Summer months — and drinking lots of H20 is also a tried and true way to reduce bloating. "The more diuretics you can get into your body, the better you will feel when you wake up," Bourque and Sharafeddine said. "You may end up using the washroom a few times overnight, but it will help with the detox process and to flush out unwanted bacteria."

They also recommended drinking peppermint or fennel tea before bed. Peppermint and fennel are both digestive herbs that have been used to treat bloating, gas, and cramps. Like water, they act as diuretics. "The theory is that they smooth your gastrointestinal muscles, causing relaxation," they explained.
