5 WAYS to
Beat
Belly Bloat
(BPT) - Warmer weather brings sunny days, fresh breezes and plenty of flora and fauna to explore. But there’s another aspect to warm weather that some people dread: swimsuit season. Three out of four women (77 percent) have felt self-conscious while wearing a swimsuit due to body issues, according to a recent Renew Life survey, and their midsection is a big reason. Belly bloat is the No. 1 reason they feel self-conscious. Wearing a swimsuit takes guts! Most women (60 percent) typically do something in preparation to look their best for swimsuit season. To battle the bloat and feel your best at the pool, beach and beyond, follow these five simple tips. MODERNFIT

Cleanse First, prime your body with a natural cleanse. Most three-day cleanses work with the body’s natural metabolism to help eliminate waste and toxins, and relieves occasional bloating and constipation. You’ll detoxify, reduce water retention and immediately feel more energized. Make sure to look for a natural cleanse.

Hydrate
Maintain Gut Health
Staying hydrated is essential on hot days, but don’t reach for carbonated drinks. The bubbles can get trapped in your belly and contribute to bloating. Instead, go for good old H2O. If you need a little flavor, add a few wedges of fresh orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit for a healthy twist that’s sure to quench your thirst.
A properly functioning gut contains a delicate balance of bacteria to help with digestive and immune health. Without this balance, you can feel bloated and unwell. Keep your gut in check with a daily probiotic supplement like Renew Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic. Just one daily pill can help replenish the balance to help you keep bloat under control.
Exercise If you’re bloated, you may be more tempted to curl up on the couch rather than get active. However, exercise stimulates the bowels and helps keep your digestive tract regular. Strive to move and groove at least 15 minutes a day. Take a short walk, turn on that workout video and sign up for that yoga class - not only will you kick bloat to the curb, but you’ll look and feel great.
Don’t let tummy troubles keep you from doing the things you love. With these five tips you’ll have occasional bloat under control and be ready for swimsuit season.
Eat smart Avoid highly processed foods to maintain a tame tummy. These foods are typically high in sodium and low in fiber, which contributes to that bloated feeling. Choose real foods. Cut back on added sugars. Avoid trans-fats/ limit saturated fats. Limit caffeine and alcohol. MODERNFIT

Mini Egg Pizzas
.org g g e e l ib incred
If you’re looking for an easy breakfast or even a make-ahead meal to pack in your lunch, you’re going to want to try these breakfast pizzas for yourself!
Ingredients:
6 Eggs 2 tbsp. finely shredded Parmesan cheese 3 oval gluten free flatbreads (6x8-inches) 2 tsp. olive oil, OPTIONAL 1 cup grape or cherry tomato halves 1/2 cup thinly sliced spinach OR basil leaves Salt and pepper, as desired 3/4 cup shredded Italian cheese blend Crushed red pepper, OPTIONAL
Preparation:
HEAT oven to 450°F. COAT large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. BEAT eggs and Parmesan cheese in medium bowl until blended. POUR eggs into skillet. As eggs begin to set, GENTLY PULL the eggs across the pan with an inverted turner, forming large soft curds. CONTINUE cooking — pulling, lifting and folding eggs – until thickened and some visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly. Do not overcook. PLACE flatbreads on baking sheets; lightly brush tops with oil, if desired. TOP with scrambled eggs, tomatoes and spinach, dividing evenly. SEASON with salt and pepper, if desired. SPRINKLE evenly with Italian cheese blend. BAKE in 450°F oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. SPRINKLE with red pepper, if desired. CUT each pizza into 4 pieces; SERVE immediately.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive or canola oil 2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper 1 tablespoon chopped onion 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms 1 cup loosely packed fresh baby spinach leaves, rinsed 1/2 cup fat-free egg product or 2 eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon water Dash salt Dash pepper 1 tablespoon shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
Preparation:
In 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion and mushrooms to oil. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in spinach; continue cooking and stirring just until spinach wilts. Remove vegetables from pan to small bowl. In medium bowl, beat egg product, water, salt and pepper with fork or whisk until well mixed. Reheat same skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly pour egg mixture into pan. While sliding pan back and forth rapidly over heat, quickly stir with spatula to spread eggs continuously over bottom of pan as they thicken. Let stand over heat a few seconds to lightly brown bottom of omelet. Do not overcook; omelet will continue to cook after folding. Place cooked vegetable mixture over half of omelet; top with cheese. With spatula, fold other half of omelet over vegetables. Gently slide out of pan onto plate. Serve immediately. 14
