Your digestive health can be threatened by rising temperatures, and not because of the heat itself, but because people, being carried away by the euphoria of the hot weather, often make undesirable changes in their diet. If you want keep your stomach calm this spring, these are the foods you have to avoid.

In spring we begin to spend more time outdoors, which can make us overuse carbonated sodas. Going on a picnic or terrace with your friends after work is a great decision mentally speaking, but don't make it harmful. Don't get hooked on bubbly drinksThey often contain phosphoric acid and refined sugar, which kill the good bacteria in the intestines.

In addition, carbonation also introduces excess air into the digestive tract, resulting in a visibly more bloated belly, irritation and above all in an uncomfortable feeling of heaviness that can end up ruining even the most promising of days. People prone to digestive problems can experience these symptoms with just one can, so it is best not to try and go for healthy sodas instead, like homemade iced tea.

Avoid processed meats and alcohol BBQs should also be a priority this spring if you want to maintain good digestive health. The former (sausages, bacon, chorizo) contain nitrates, which are added as a preservative, which can kill the beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria in the intestine. And if that weren't enough, eating processed meats also increases your risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Alcohol, on the other hand, is consumed more regularly with the arrival of the outdoor party season, but you have to control yourself if you do not want to suffer from digestive problems. Drinking in excess can cause an alteration in the bacteria of the intestines, increased risk of liver damage. Another detrimental effect of consuming more than two glasses or two beers per week is being overweight.
