Can't Stomach Christmas?

Have you ever suffered from stomach complaints after too much seasonal self indulgence? A staggering 66% of British people confess to overindulging on rich food and drink during the festive period - the perfect ingredients for uncomfortable indigestion, bloating and embarrassing trapped wind. Normally these would put a dampener on your festive spirit, but with the new-look Setlers range “yule” have no need to worry this Christmas!

WindSetlers commissioned a survey on the eating habits of British people over the festive season and discovered:

- Over one in ten UK citizens put their health at serious risk by over-indulging between Christmas and New Year
- A third of British people put on up to four pounds over the festive period and one in 10 piled on a whopping eight pounds
- Bingeing on foods such as turkey, chocolate and mine pies led to us suffering with stomach complaints, headaches and lethargy
- 66% of us confess to excessive consumption of rich food during the festivities, and one in 20 admit to making themselves ill every year by eating too much
- A greedy 17 per cent of British people kick-off the festivities with a full English breakfast
- 82 per cent carry bingeing on Boxing Day!

Indigestion is suffered by over four million people in the UK and is caused when excess stomach acid irritates the lining of the stomach, resulting in pain. But don’t let it ruin your party spirit – just reach for Setlers Antacid tablets, which neutralise excess acid and provide express relief from the pain and discomfort of indigestion.

Rich food, eating on the go and the stress of entertaining at Christmas can also cause uncomfortable bloating – try WindSetlers gel capsules which contain activated dimeticone to break down tiny air bubbles in the stomach and provide express relief from that bloated feeling.

Doctor Chris Fenn, Accredited Nutritionist said: “Digestive problems can be uncomfortable and often quite embarrassing and are much more common over the Christmas period. We all want to enjoy ourselves over Christmas so try and identify the foods that cause the problems and keep them to a minimum. You can also ease the symptoms discreetly and quickly by taking antacid tablets or activated dimeticone gel-capsules.”
