As the temperature dips, does your gut health seem to follow suit? You're not alone. Here are some common gut issues that tend to rise across the winter months, and the surprisingly easy ways to keep them at bay.
Increased IBS Symptoms
The drop in temperature often leads to cravings for richer, heavier foods
and a tendency towards a more sedentary lifestyle. These changes can
upset the balance of gut bacteria, potentially leading to increased symptoms of IBS such as diarrhoea, bloating, and cramps. Find ways to stay active indoors during winter and consider adding more whole grains, fibre and probiotic-rich foods to your plate.
Changes in bowel regularity
Changes in dietary and lifestyle habits during colder weather can cause a decrease in digestive tract activity, resulting in constipation. Remember to stay hydrated and find ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your meals. Remember, frozen options are also a healthy, convenient choice!
Abdominal discomfort
The cold can cause your muscles to tense up to conserve heat. Over an extended time, this tension, especially in the abdominal area, can lead to discomfort and cramping. Layering clothes allows you to adjust to temperature changes and avoid feeling overly chilled. Thermal wear can also be a good option for added warmth. Hydrating with a cup of herbal tea or hot water with lemon and ginger can also help provide additional internal warmth.
Essential for winter gut wellbeing

These prebiotics skip digestion and go straight to the colon, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Furthermore, the natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals found in raw honey offer various gut health benefits, such as aiding in nutrient absorption and providing natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
