A top pharmacist advises Britons to be mindful of their eating habits during the holiday season, as overconsumption of rich foods can lead to digestive issues like bloating, heartburn, and bowel problems. She recommends avoiding large quantities of processed, sugary, or fatty foods, and suggests opting for smaller portions, chewing slowly, and taking short walks after meals to alleviate discomfort.
A top pharmacist is urging Brits to take care with their eating over the festive period, as it could bring on a raft of painful complaints. According to Claire, Boots Superintendent Pharmacist, gorging on rich foods over the coming days can trigger issues such as bloating, heartburn and bowel problems.
To stave off stomach problems, Claire tolds Gloucestershire Live: "To help avoid bloating over the holidays, you should try to avoid these foods in large quantities and instead opt for smaller portions. It can also help if you try to chew at a slower pace, as eating quickly can lead us to swallow more air and can cause bloating. Exercise can also help to reduce bloating, so consider going for a 10–15-minute walk after eating, as this may help ease symptoms.
"Wearing loose-fitting clothes can also help to relieve pressure on the stomach, which will help prevent stomach acids from moving up towards the throat, causing the burning sensation associated with heartburn. "Causes of constipation can include changes to your diet or daily routine, being less active and spending long periods sitting or lying down. Other factors include not eating enough fibre and not drinking enough fluids. You should try to drink six to eight glasses of water a day, limit alcohol intake and include fibre in your diet, which is found in fruits and vegetables.
