Digestive discomforts keeping you up? Try building these 3 gut-healthy habits into your evening routine to ease your digestive troubles at night.

Keep it lighter

Opt for a lighter, easily digestible dinner at least 2 - 3 hours before sleep. Large meals can overwhelm your digestive system and lead to discomfort, bloating, and heartburn later in the night. Uncomfortably bloated at the end of the day? Avoid cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, and cabbage just before bed.

Post-meal walk

A short, gentle walk after dinner can help with digestion and discomfort from gas build-up in the stomach. Walking helps to stimulate gentle contractions in the stomach and intestines. In turn, helping to move food along more efficiently through the digestive tract, promoting better digestion and potentially reducing bloating and gas build-up.

Postbiotic Nightcap

Taking postbiotics right before bed means they don’t have to compete with the food consumed during the day for stomach acid and digestive enzymes. This allows the gut-beneficial metabolites to work more effectively in your digestive tract while you sleep. An easy way to deliciously easy way to do this is by adding 15ml of P3 Gut Builder into a glass of warm water before bed. Each 15ml serving contains a powerful triple-action postbiotic tonic, expertly slow-fermented with a specially selected combination of prebiotics, raw honey & inulin, our Lactobacillus rhamnosus Beebiotic MAP01® probiotic strain, plus 7 multi-strain probiotics and 2 postbiotic strains. Adding a scoop of Care+ Gut Nutrition powder can help you find better sleep. It contains well-studied strains, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus helveticus and Lactobacillus platarum that have shown promising results for sleep health.
