Processed foods

Potato chips and cookies might have a wonderful taste, but they’re usually too high in sodium with a ton of added sugar, which will only make you retain more water and feel super bloated. However, if you’re craving snacks, try a healthier alternative, such as string cheese, carrots dipped in hummus, or even a couple of whole-grain crackers with some peanut butter.

You will be surprised to find out that they can easily satisfy your hunger without filling you up with all these uncomfortable and triggering symptoms you try to avoid at all costs. Believe it or not, you can save plenty of energy with these little secrets!

Spicy foods

Next time you’re thinking of adding extra-hot salsa to your quesadilla or taco, don’t. You might be surprised to know that foods that rate very high on the heat scale might trigger sweating, flushing, and any other symptoms of hot flashes.

If you’re a spicy lover, quitting eating your meals without that steaming hot drop of Tabasco must be pretty hard. Luckily, there are other alternatives to give some personality to that bland dish. Just skip the jalapenos and sprinkle on spices that will offer just as much flavor without all that heat, such as cumin, curry, turmeric, and basil.
