The year is in full swing, but you may still be feeling sluggish after the holiday season. We asked Integrative General Practitioner Dr Iggy Soosay to share some insight into how the festive season can impact our gut health:
'You Have a Brewery in Your Gut. Certain bacteria and yeasts in your gut ferment the sugar you eat into alcohol. This happens especially after the holidays when sugar intake increases significantly. Even after you have stopped drinking, a sugar-heavy diet can keep creating internal alcohol-related damage to your gut and liver.'
