The onset of the silly season doesn’t mean you need to undo all the great work you’ve done on your gut health throughout the year. 

While you may not always be able to avoid having too much of a good thing – after all, what’s the saying, “you can resist everything except temptation” – being prepared can be a saving grace. 

Just like your instincts, it’s important to listen to your gut. Often the gut will tell you in no uncertain terms the foods that are good and bad for it. This story is different for everyone so while the rich sauces and hot chillies may be great for some, they may not be the right choice for you.

While you’re navigating these choices, supporting the digestive process can be helpful. Digestive enzymes can be extremely beneficial with this, supporting healthy digestion and aiding in the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, including fibre and lactose. 

There are a range of digestive enzymes the body makes that all play a role in breaking down food, a process that is necessary to allow for the absorption of nutrients. 

These digestive enzymes are made in different parts of the body including the mouth, stomach and small intestine, with the pancreas also playing a key role. When the body doesn’t secrete enough of these enzymes, the ability to break down food can be affected. 

Herbs of Gold Digest-Zymes provides 6 separate digestive enzymes supporting healthy digestion. Available in an easy to take vegan-friendly capsule, Digest-Zymes is suitable to be used up to three times a day before meals.
