Or was it the mince pies and sherry? Whatever the reason, it’s easy to feel bloated, uncomfortable and over full or develop burning indigestion, a bad stomach or excess wind when the party season’s in full swing. Not much good if you want to dance the night away or fit comfortably into your frock.

If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or any of your family, then help is at hand with two fabulously effective products that work in our house really well.

Proacatzyme helps our bodies assimilate all the nutrients we eat as well as maintaining a healthy digestive system. As we age, our bodies produce fewer enzymes so not only do we suffer more with all the problems noted above but we may not even be getting the benefit of the foods we actually eat.

Papaya Mints can also help. These chewable tablets function as a digestive stimulant as wll as refreshing the mouth. They are naturally sweetened with sorbitol and fructose, so better for you than ordinary mints.

I’ve also felt so much slimmer and more comfortable since I did the Healthy Start Detox programme. I feel like I’ve literally had an internal clean sweep. It’s a 10 day programme so you might want to leave it until after Christmas, but it will definitely be worth it.
