Hello everyone!
Winter is the season for delicious meals, cozy moments, and... sometimes complicated digestion.
Between the cold, heartier meals, and a more stressful pace, our digestive system works slower and harder.
The good news is: often, a few targeted actions are all it takes to get things moving again!
The 7-minute walk: a magic hack 🚶
Yes, 7 minutes.
A short walk helps the body to "get digestion moving." That's all it takes to reduce post-meal blood sugar, stimulate intestinal motility, and decrease the feeling of heaviness.
Little tip 💡: about 500 steps right after eating (even indoors)
→ helps your stomach work more easily
The hot-cold ritual: start with something warm ♨️
In winter, the digestive system prefers warmth.
Starting your meal with a warm drink or a small soup prepares the stomach and facilitates everything else.
Little tip 💡: warm water + lemon 5 minutes before the meal
→ warms the stomach and kickstarts digestion
Diaphragmatic breathing: the gesture that brings back calm 🌬️
When we breathe too high in the chest (stress, tension, cold), digestion slows down.
Breathing "with your belly" relaxes the body and signals the start of digestion.
Little tip 💡: 6 long exhales in a row
→ calms the nervous system and helps digestion restart
The anti-heaviness trick: the knee-to-chest posture 🦵
Sitting on the edge of a chair and bringing one knee towards your chest for a few seconds relieves digestive pressure and helps trapped air circulate.
Little tip 💡: 10 seconds per side is enough
→ reduces the feeling of an overly full stomach
Winter's key foods: for a soothed belly 🥦
In winter, the stomach prefers warm foods, rich in gentle fiber and easy to assimilate: they require less digestive effort and conserve energy.
- Roasted vegetables: carrots, squash, broccoli, parsnips
- Cooked fruits: apples and pears
- Root vegetables: sweet potato, turnip, celeriac
- Cooked green vegetables: spinach, chard, green beans
Little tip 💡: replace a cold salad with warm vegetables
→ lighter digestion guaranteed
Ingredient focus 🔎
Digestive plants: goodbye bloated belly 👋
Certain plants naturally facilitate digestion by stimulating enzymes, soothing discomfort, and supporting the liver.
→ ginger: soothes the stomach and aids digestion
→ milk thistle: supports the liver, essential for metabolizing fats
They are present in our Onday formula, designed to support digestion, reduce discomfort, and support your metabolism, especially in winter!
We wish you a wonderful day!
