Summer is a time of vacations, sunbathing and active recreation. However, this period often becomes a real test for our skin. Sun rays, high temperatures, active sweating and even our attempts to protect ourselves with SPF creams can lead to undesirable consequences: dryness, redness, itching and sudden rashes (acne).

The arrival of summer is traditionally associated with a change in diet: heavy winter food is replaced by fresh vegetables, herbs, and the first berries. For our body, this is not just a change in menu, but a critically important stage in the renewal of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and its main "superorgan" - the intestinal microbiome.

The human body is a complex ecosystem, consisting not only of our own cells, but also of trillions of microorganisms that inhabit us. This invisible "superorgan" - the microbiome - directly affects our mood, immunity, metabolism and physiological state in general. Modern science proves that human health largely depends on various epigenetic factors, among which nutrition and physical activity occupy a key place.

A long-awaited trip, a change of climate, exotic cuisine and new experiences - all this sounds like the perfect vacation. However, for our gastrointestinal tract (GI) any trip often turns into a real stress test. Instead of enjoying the vacation, many travelers face the so-called "traveler's diarrhea", acute bloating (flatulence), abdominal pain or persistent constipation.
