A high-sodium diet is another contributing factor to bloating, Dr. Berookim said, since sodium leads to water retention. Aim for no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily. You can do this by reading labels and/or cooking at home to control the amount of sodium you eat.
When you do feel like you have eaten too much sodium, registered dietitian Rachel Fine, MS, RD, CDN, owner of To the Pointe Nutrition, told POPSUGAR in a previous interview that increasing your intake of fresh fruits and veggies will help to counteract the excess sodium levels.
