Top Ten Tips to beat the post -Christmas bloat

1.  Drink more water - water will help to hydrate you, flush out the excess and stop you being so bleary eyed ☺️
2. Get outside - fresh air and a 20 minute walk will do you the world of good.
3. Do some ab work - chose sit-ups or plank. Working the muscles will compress the gut. Stimulate your bowel to move and help get rid of gas 🙈
4. Have an alcohol free day - give your liver chance to recover 💕
5. Do some stretching - lengthen your body to release tension, make you feel good and help to realign your body 🙂
6. Skip the protein - protein takes longer to process so a meat free , cheese free day will help your gut recover 🍎
7. Go for a long walk or jog - get your boots on, take a flask, some apples and a bit of Christmas cake and head for the hills. Moderate uphill walking where you get breathless will improve your insulin response and be a fab calorie burn 🌈
8. Dance - well any kind of jumping around will help so get on some tunes and twist shake and groove to banish that lethargy 🕺🏼💃🏼
9. Up your fibre - all that heavy stodgy food needs to be gone! Tuck into the dates and figs. Get some porridge for breakfast. Eat some fruit. Drink some prune juice 😇
10. Set up a circuit - 4 exercises and do each one 30 seconds and go around 3 times. Chose upper then lower body. E.g. Sit-ups squats. Shoulder press. Lunge. Or high knee running , side sit-ups, jumping jacks and press ups
