Heatwaves and Gut Health: What You Need to Know

Imagine your tummy is like a garden.

Heatwaves, like very strong sun, can make it harder for your tummy to work right.

It can slow down how your food moves, like a traffic jam in your tummy!

The heat can also damage the walls of your tummy, letting bad stuff get in.

Also, the heat can upset the good and bad bugs in your tummy garden.

This means you might feel tummy aches, or get sick easier.

Eating food that has been out in the heat for too long can make you very sick.

To keep your tummy happy, drink plenty of water, eat cool foods like melon, and avoid heavy meals during a heatwave.
