PRESERVE YOUR INTESTINAL BALANCE
The intestinal flora is an essential part of our health and plays an important role in intestinal balance . This balance is fragile and can be broken by different factors. This is especially the case in summer , when dietary changes and travel can put a strain on our intestinal sphere.
Summer gives pride of place to raw vegetables
Summer is a season for dietary changes : nature is full of fruits and vegetables and we naturally tend to consume more of them. However, these dietary changes, even based on healthy foods, can upset the intestinal balance. In addition to providing the nutrients our body needs, the foods we eat serve as substrates for the lactic ferments that make up our intestinal flora, which can then be disrupted . In addition, fruits and vegetables are rich in fibre , nutrients that are essential for intestinal balance but which, in excess, can beirritating to the intestines when not softened by cooking. A sudden increase in the consumption of raw vegetables can lead to discomfort such as bloating, increased intestinal fermentation, etc. To limit these inconveniences, you can, for example , peel and seed the seeded vegetables (which are the most irritating), think about chewing well to facilitate the work of digestion of your stomach and your intestines and to alternate raw and cooked vegetables.
Travel: serenity, escape and… small inconveniences
Traveling to distant and exotic countries is an excellent source of well-being . The escape, the change of scenery are all beneficial elements to recharge our batteries. It is also an opportunity to discover the local gastronomic specialties . These dietary changes can also be a source of imbalances for our intestinal sphere. Finally, it is important to take into account the many undesirable microorganisms with which our body is not usually confronted and which can cause the appearance of intestinal discomfort that is well known and feared by travelers .. It is therefore important to strengthen the intestinal flora and ensure good hygiene: be careful if you eat raw foods, drink bottled water or clean the water before consuming it... For a summer in great shape, Remember to take care of your intestinal balance!
