There are several reasons for decreased digestion in the winters. When the temperature drops, our body naturally slows down its metabolism to conserve energy and stay warm. This means that our digestive system also slows down, making it take longer to break down food. We often drink less water during colder weather, which can lead to dehydration. Dehydration makes it more difficult for our body to move food through our digestive system, resulting in constipation and other digestive issues. And also Seasonal variations in gut bacteria may fluctuate with the seasons. This could potentially impact digestion, although more research is needed to fully understand the connection.

Here are some foods that are easy to digest in winters::
