How to beat the Christmas bloat

We all know Christmas is the time for indulging. The mince pies in the office, the glasses of mulled wine after work and not forgetting the main event – Christmas dinner!

The average Brit will gain five pounds (or two kilos) over the four week festive period and consume around 6,000 calories on Christmas day. And if you thought Christmas parties were sin-free, think again! Brits will guzzle an extra 43 teaspoons of sugar in one yuletide night out!

All this indulgent eating and drinking doesn’t just affect your weight gain this winter, it can cause million of Brits to suffer painful, disruptive (and a little embarrassing!) digestion problems too.

A new report by the Henry Potter Advisory Committee reveals that nearly one in five described their digestive health as temperamental and troublesome, whilst one in 10 respondents described their digestive health as poor.

Of the 2,000 men and women aged 25 to 60 surveyed, Bloating was highlighted as a significant digestive health concern – nearly nine out of 10 (87.5 per cent) of those studied said they suffered from the problem.

With the toxic load of excessive sugar, saturated fat and alcohol settling into your stomach from your Christmas feast, it’s little wonder your gut is feeling full and sluggish.

Along with the post-festive flu and fatigue, many of us will be feeling the bloat, tummy cramps and constant wind, following the last week of binge-eating on everything we could get our hands on.

Although the signs of the Christmas feast may still be lurking (yes, we mean those leftovers Quality Street chocolates and mince pies…) lure yourself away from temptation and give your digestive system a much-needed boost.

Top tips for looking after your digestive health this Christmas

It’s the same every year – once the festive season arrives, we abandon all our good habits and dive headlong into a month of OTT indulgence. From mince pies and marzipan to stuffing and stollen, we’re faced with an abundance of food that’s just a bit too hard to resist – meaning that second helpings become an all too common occurrence.

Unfortunately, our bodies aren’t prepared for this sudden binge. Unable to cope with so many rich foods, our digestive systems often start to play up – leaving us feeling uncomfortable at the least opportune moment.

Worried about experiencing digestive problems this Christmas? No one’s saying you have to stick to salad – but nutritionist Amanda Hamilton and the team at Imodium do have some have some helpful advice. Remember these tips and you won’t be left regretting any dietary decisions this festive season...
Canapé catastrophes

Christmas is supposed to be a season of bright colours – so why is most party food boring old beige? Canapés, sausage rolls, sandwiches, cake... it’s all made of beige coloured wheat which is high in gluten and low in nutrients. For some people, repeatedly eating wheat-based products can lead to bloating and an irritated bowel. Try to add some colour to the menu with crudités and dips, fresh fruit and juices to aid your body’s effective digestion.
Under pressure

Love them or hate them, having your in-laws over and your other half’s mother watching your every move in the kitchen would make anyone anxious! Apprehension or stress can imbalance your digestive system, leaving you feeling below par. Try to take measures to ease your stress, incorporating relaxation therapies such as yoga, meditation or music into your festive routine – or just step outside with a calming cup of peppermint tea for a moment to get away from it all.
