Is workout bloat a thing? An expert explains.
Uh, we thought exercise was supposed to make our stomachs slimmer, no? Well, Cynthia Sass, RD, MPH,contributing nutrition editor, says that though you might feel bloated after working out, it probably isn’t directly caused by physical activity.
Rather, Sass says you’re probably huffing and puffing and accidentally gulping down air while trying to catch your breath as you exercise. That can trap air in the gastrointestinal tract and cause a puffy tummy. It's similar to what happens when you eat too fast and swallow gas-producing air.Another thing that can cause bloat after working out is eating too close to your gym session, especially if your meal contains fiber, protein, and fat, which take longer to digest, says Sass.
Artificial sweeteners can also cause bloating because they’re difficult for your system to digest, and they hang around in your stomach for awhile. Before reaching for a sports drink, check the label to make sure it doesn't contain bloat-inducing artificial sweeteners. It might be refreshing during your workout, but it could leave you with some serious distension afterward.Bloating might not be comfortable, but unfortunately, you can’t always prevent it from happening.
