If you need to trim belly bloat in just a few days, here is your healthy plan to making it happen, fast.

What to avoid: Chewing gum

Swap it out: If you want something crunchy, reach for some nuts, like roasted or raw unsalted sunflower seeds. If you want a minty taste, brush your teeth instead.

The rationale: By chewing gum, you are also swallowing air, which gets trapped in your gastrointestinal tract and causes pressure and bloating.
