Beat The Bloat With Sayote

When nutritionist to the stars-slash-professional dancer Nadine Tengco needs to keep her tummy flat for a shoot or show, she relies on the diuretic and anti-inflammatory powers of sayote. “It can relieve gas and reduce bloating and water retention immediately,” she says. “Sayote and kalabasa are the only two veggies I eat on the day of a shoot!”
