How to Avoid Holiday Digestive Discomfort: Tips for a Happier Gut

The holiday season is full of yummy food, parties, and treats. However, these feasts can lead to digestive discomfort making the celebrations less fun. From overeating to rich foods, your digestive system is put to the test during this time. But with the right strategies and digestive enzymes you can enjoy the holidays and a happy gut.

1. Practice Portion Control

Overeating is one of the main causes of holiday digestive discomfort. Big portions can overwhelm your digestive system and lead to bloating, indigestion, and sluggishness. Here’s how:

• Start Small: Serve yourself smaller portions and go back for seconds if you’re still hungry.
• Chew Slowly: Take time to chew thoroughly so your digestive system can process food better.
• Pause Between Courses: Give your stomach time to signal fullness before reaching for more food.

Being mindful of portion sizes not only helps avoid discomfort but also leaves room to try many dishes without overindulging.

2. Add Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are your secret weapon for gut health during big meals. They help your body break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates so you won’t bloat and digest poorly. Dr. Guberman has many high quality digestive enzymes to support you during the holiday season.

3. Support Your Gut with Probiotics

Probiotics are key to a balanced gut microbiome which is essential for digestion. They reduce inflammation, support nutrient absorption, and alleviate digestive discomfort from an imbalanced diet.

Drinking enough water during the holidays is often overlooked but necessary for healthy digestion. Water helps move food through your digestive tract, prevents constipation, and supports digestive enzymes. Try:

• Drinking a glass of water before meals to aid digestion.
• Avoid too many sugary or alcoholic drinks which can dehydrate you.

5. Manage Stress

The holidays can be stressful and that can be bad for your digestive health. High stress levels can cause indigestion and other gut issues. Try deep breathing, meditation, or a short walk after meals to help your digestive system work better.
