Nutritionist Dwayne Mellor said that with the onset of winter, people generally eat more fatty and high-calorie foods and also drink less water. Doing so may increase your risk of digestive disorders. In this respect reports Daily mail.
Due to the decrease in daylight hours and less sunlight, the person may experience drowsiness, loss of energy and loss of concentration. The body tries to replenish the missing energy in another way – by increasing the feeling of hunger and subsequently increasing the amount of food taken. Often, with the onset of cold weather, a person feels a desire to eat sweet, fatty and high-calorie foods. Additionally, people drink more tea and coffee in winter and autumn. Taken together, these changes in diet can cause digestive disorders such as bloating, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Mellor noted that people tend to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables during the summer months due to availability. They are rich in dietary fiber, fiber that is not absorbed by the body. Such fibers have a positive effect on digestion and support the diversity of intestinal microflora.
The nutritionist recommends eating seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout winter and autumn. It is also necessary to monitor how much water a person drinks during the day. The optimal amount is six to eight glasses a day. Additionally, physical exercise can improve digestion. Physical activity moves food through the gastrointestinal tract and helps reduce bloating.
