Your Gut Deserves a Holiday Too
2 December, 2025
“How are you going to spend your year-end holiday?” seems to be everyone’s favourite conversation starter as the year comes to an end.
You think that you deserve a holiday after a year of hard work, but have you ever thought that your gut might deserve a holiday too?
December is all about travelling, feasting, and enjoying time off — but unfortunately, our gut doesn’t get a break. While you would like to enjoy your year-end adventures fully, your gut might not always be on the same page — especially when the pesky “holiday gut effect” strikes suddenly in the middle of your trip, ruining the whole experience.
So, what exactly is the “holiday gut effect”?
It refers to digestive issues such as gas, bloating, indigestion, sluggish digestion, diarrhoea, or constipation that are commonly observed during the holiday season because of sudden changes in diets, eating habits, and routines.
The Top 3 common causes of “holiday gut effect” 1,2,3
Simple Gut-Care Habits to Keep Things in Balance
Stay healthy – Practice mindful eating and balance meals with more fiber by adding more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support healthy digestion.
Stay hydrated – Ensure sufficient water intake throughout the day, as proper hydration supports digestion.
Stay active – Don’t lie down immediately after a meal. Going for a short walk after meals helps improve digestion and reduce discomfort.
Stay relaxed – Try to keep stress in check. The gut and brain are closely linked; thus, high levels of stress can disrupt the gut’s normal function.
And don’t forget prebiotics and probiotics! – Be sure to bring along your prebiotics and probiotics with you whenever you travel. A combination of factors, including dietary changes, irregular routines, and increased stress during holiday trips, can easily disrupt the balance of gut microflora. 4
