Will you begin the new year feeling sluggish and bloated? If so, here are some tips to aid your digestion. However, the best approach is to moderate your indulgence. We often overdo it and end up feeling unwell...
With the holiday season nearly behind us, it's time to kick off 2025 on a positive note (hopefully for good).
Feeling lethargic after the Christmas and New Year's festivities is normal. Here are a few strategies to combat that bloated and tired sensation. The most effective results come from being consistent, even during the holidays.
Add Fiber to your Diet
It's that time of year when people start talking about New Year's resolutions that involve cutting certain foods from their diet. Instead of thinking about what to remove, why not focus on adding fiber-rich foods to improve your digestive health? Fiber helps keep your digestive system working well. Here are some foods that are high in fiber:
Beans
Broccoli
Berries
Avocado
Oatmeal
Hydrate!
Staying hydrated is crucial for our health, and it's interesting to note that water plays a vital role in digestion too. It keeps things moving in your digestive tract. During festive seasons, we often consume foods high in sodium, which can potentially lead to water retention and that uncomfortable bloated feeling. Drinking water can help alleviate this by flushing out the extra sodium. If you find it challenging to drink enough water, consider filling your favorite cup and make a habit of sipping throughout the day.
MOVE YOUR BODY
If you're feeling bloated, integrating a 30-minute walk into your day can be beneficial. Exercise is essential for maintaining a healthy gut, and walking is an easy, low-impact option suitable for almost everyone. Regular physical activity encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
We also have an online program starting January 6th for 30 days to help kick start your 2025 movement-plus, its all from your home. Get in, work hard, and you're done!
It's completely normal to feel a bit sluggish and puffy after enjoying a feast. Our bodies aren't designed to handle such indulgence all at once.
