All the pasta. The gelato after dinner. Greek food by the sea. Aperol at 3pm. Another Aperol at 5pm. Long lunches, late dinners and absolutely no idea when you last drank a proper bottle of water.
You enjoyed your European summer exactly as you should have.
Then you get home, step on the scale and… 2kg?!
Before you assume you’ve gained 2kg of body fat, there’s a little more to that number.
A holiday changes a lot more than just how much you’re eating:
• Your diet & digestion — Eating out every day usually means more sodium and carbohydrates, less fibre and water, different meal times and a completely different routine. This can lead to temporary water retention, slower digestion, constipation and bloating. And between the extra stored fluid and simply having more gastrointestinal contents, you can both feel heavier and see a higher number on the scale.
• Alcohol — A few more wines, cocktails and spritzes than usual can affect hydration, sleep and digestion and it’s very normal to come home feeling a little puffier.
Some of what you’re seeing and feeling may be temporary changes in fluid retention, glycogen stores and digestion.
And this is where lymphatic drainage can be the perfect post-holiday reset.
After weeks of different foods, more alcohol, less water, long flights and a completely different routine, your body will be dealing with fluid retention, bloating, sluggish digestion and increased inflammation.
Lymphatic drainage helps stimulate lymphatic circulation, supporting your body’s natural process of moving excess fluid and clearing cellular waste, while our abdominal techniques can help get digestion and bowel movement back on track.
Less fluid retention, less puffiness, a happier gut and a body that feels like yours again.
Consider it your post-Euro-summer reset. ☀️🍸👙🍹
