Not Drinking Enough Water

If you're not drinking enough water each day, constipation could be the reason you feel bloated. And we're talking plain water, as sugary lemonade, soda, sports drinks, and sweetened tea can cause bloating.

You don't need to go nuts and drink a gallon of water a day, but aim for around 60 to 80 ounces daily. Drinking a big glass right when you wake up can get things moving right along (if you know what we mean), which can prevent bloat the rest of the day. And keeping a reusable water bottle on hand will encourage you to sip all day.
