Holidays mean rest, fun, and a break from routine. But for many people, these changes can bring an unwanted side effect: constipation. Long journeys, changes in eating habits, lower water intake, and reduced physical activity are common factors that contribute to sluggish bowels during this period.
If you’ve experienced this before — or want to avoid it altogether — keep reading for helpful tips to keep your digestion on track… and how Psyllogel® can be the perfect ally for smooth and stress-free holidays.
5 Tips to Prevent Constipation During Your Holidays
1. Drink plenty of water
Proper hydration is essential for digestion and healthy bowel function. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it whenever you can.
2. Eat fiber-rich foods
Even while traveling, try to maintain a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Apples, dried fruits, or cereal bars make great, easy-to-carry snacks.
3. Stay active
Take advantage of opportunities to walk, swim, or explore your destination on foot. Even light activity helps stimulate your bowels. On long car or plane trips, take breaks to move around.
4. Create a routine for your gut
Try to stick to a regular bathroom schedule, even in a new environment. Listen to your body and give yourself time to go, especially after meals or in the morning.
5. Take Psyllogel® with you
Holiday changes can disrupt your digestive rhythm. To avoid unpleasant surprises, bring Psyllogel®, a natural, soluble fiber that gently and effectively supports regular bowel movements.
Extra tip: Start taking
Psyllogel® a few days before your trip, so your gut adapts to the routine change more smoothly.
