Maintaining gut health whilst travelling
Whether travelling abroad as far as Australia or spending your holiday in the UK, travel health is a subject that concerns many of us. In particular, our digestive health can be affected by a variety of factors whilst travelling – including dehydration, eating and drinking differently, lack of exercise, less sleep, changes in time zones and other unusual stressors. We will also inevitably come into contact with unfamiliar bacteria.
All of these changes can disturb the normal healthy balance of your digestive system and it is useful to support your gut before, during and after travel:
Before travelling, make a plan – buy some healthy snacks to take with you, find accommodation with a kitchen and start taking your good bacterial supplements.
During travel – drink only bottled water, focus on healthy foods (including vegetables and fermented foods if you can find them), don’t go overboard with alcohol and you might want to double up on the good bacteria supplements.
After travelling, when you are back home – get back into your routines, diet and local time zone as quickly as possible and continue taking friendly bacteria for at least another week or until you feel that your digestive system is back to normal.
