It’s no secret that travelling, especially abroad, can upset our routines and gut health by disrupting the balance of beneficial bacteria that are naturally synchronised with our body and eating patterns.
When we take our gut to a new time zone, it can be unsettling. Add in new and unusual foods and a change of water and it’s clear to see why so many of us suffer with tummy troubles after we hop on a plane.
Here are our top tips for supporting your holiday health and enjoying every moment:
Opt for fibre rich foods to support regularity!
Stay hydrated with quality water sources
Take regular exercise
Make a point of sampling local yoghurt and gut-friendly foods
Get plenty of sleep
One final tip: Your gut and brain work together so closely that a stressed mind can take its toll – so most importantly, don’t forget to… relax!
