Health & Fitness:Nutrition
Whilst food is an integral part of the holiday season, and I don't want you to exclude all those wonderful ingredients. It can also contribute to a sluggish and uncomfortable feeling.
If you want to be full of energy and vitality then you need to consider what it is that you are fuelling your body with. If it's sugar and alcohol and not many vegetables then this might be why you are not feeling your best.
Your digestive system is overloaded
Too much rich food can lead to indigestion, it isn't really rocket science, and yet we insist on eating foods at Christmas that are probably very different to our regular diet. And in much higher quantities.
According to a study we consume an average of 5,373 calories on Christmas day. Not only the large quantity but the constantly eating, means that are digestive systems are overloaded. And unfortunately for many it isn't just the one day, it can be a whole week.
Listen to podcast episode 171 where I talk about giving our digestive system a rest. Allowing the food to be fully digested. So snacking constantly on chocolates and nuts are not helping
Go for a walk
A gentle walk after eating promotes healthy digestion. Part of the digestive process it to also eliminate waste products and a walk always helps with this. Getting out in nature also helps activate serotonin and this not only improves mood, serotonin promotes a healthy bowel function. And you will be burning off some of the extra calories consumed.
Are you going to be kinder to your gut this Christmas?
