The holidays are here, along with the festive tables, which you do not need to regret afterwards! Just enjoy it! Do not let indigestion, bloating or cramps spoil your festive mood! These "common" problems occur more often during the holiday season, due to the rich meals we eat, plus the fact that we are not used to eating this type of food.

So what can you do about it?

Indigestion

Surely, by now, you will have understood when indigestion occurs, and you will have learned to recognize the signs of your body. For this, it is important to consume smaller portions, especially when it comes to creamy or buttery dishes, fatty meats, sauces and thickening sweets.

Instead, you can fill your plate with some vegetables (salad, grilled vegetables, fruits, etc.) and get a smaller amount, than you would normally get, than you would like to try. The former will help satiety to occur faster and will contribute to a smoother digestion, while the latter will not make you feel deprived of the delicacies of the table.

Another trick, according to nutritionists, is to eat almonds (1 handful) 20 'or 30' before a meal, to help the message of satiety reach the brain faster.

However, food is not the only reason for indigestion. Consumption of sugary drinks or cream can also cause indigestion. It would be good to consume enough water along with the alcohol on the table. Mint or ginger tea can also be very helpful.

Intolerance

It is very important to know and remember which foods disturb your gastrointestinal system. This is not the time to forget and lead yourself into situations of distress. It's time to enjoy your vacation, without regretting it.

Constipation

You need to always remember to include plenty of fiber and water in your diet. Especially now the holidays, which we forget with all the delicious dishes on the table. Foods rich in fiber are legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and whole grains.

Water intake should never be neglected. Water moisturizes the stool and helps remove it from the anus. Alcohol, which is consumed properly during the holidays, dehydrates the body and further contributes to the appearance of constipation.

Even if the above does not help and you feel the slightest discomfort, related to constipation, you can use Izicol during the holidays, to ensure smooth intestinal function. 1 sachet per day is able to restore and maintain the normal cycle of defecation, which has been disrupted due to changes in the daily diet during the holidays.

Inflation

Swelling or bloating may be accompanied by pain, gas and a "murmur" sound in the stomach. Most people over-consume soft drinks / alcohol during the holidays, resulting in bloating. The fiber, mentioned above, contributes to the easier movement of the most "difficult" foods in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as ginger, which helps relieve bloating.

Probiotics can also be very helpful in relieving bloating and other similar unpleasant symptoms.
