Healthy Holiday Tips

Travelling abroad for your summer holiday is always exciting, but all too often, that holiday excitement often gets spoiled by an upset stomach while you are away, as your gut gets shocked by foreign food and unfamiliar bowel bacteria. So what can you do to keep those bugs at bay and enjoy a healthy holiday?

Here are some tips:
1. Be prepared
Get your gut in the best possible shape for your holiday break with a visit to your local colonic clinic before you go. Not only will a pre-holiday colonic help beat the bugs, it will also help reduce any bloating so you’ll feel fab lying by the pool!

2. Watch your water
Even if you’re told that it’s safe to drink, it’s best to avoid tap water while you are away. Only drink bottled water and avoid ice in your drinks. Make sure to remember this brushing your teeth  and even use hand sanitiser instead of the water too! 

3. Be pro-active with pro-biotics
There are lots of supplements you can take to boost your body’s defences with ‘good’ bacteria when you are abroad. Ask NUA Holistic’s Antoinette for advice.

4. Pack the medicine bag
Always pack some Imodium, or similar diarrhoea treatment, just in case the strange and spicy food gets the better of you. 

5. All you can eat
This is not a challenge! Overeating to get your money’s worth is a recipe for disaster for your gut. You’re on holiday so take the time to enjoy your meals at a leisurely pace.

Of course, holidays are all about trying new tastes and flavours and indulging yourself a little, and we don’t want to spoil your fun with rules and regulations. But if you take the time to look after your gut while you’re away, you’ll enjoy a happier, healthier holiday that you’ll remember for all the right reasons.
