Heat and intestinal troubles

The summer heat and sudden changes in temperature often due to the use of air conditioning can interfere with the function of the digestive system, causing stress on the body, lowering the immune system and thus altering the balance of the intestinal bacterial flora.

To  ensure that the digestive system maintains its physiological functions even in the summer, it is advisable not to eat too heavy meals that can slow down digestion, cause heaviness and worsen the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux  for those who already suffer from it.</ p>

Remedies

To prevent and avoid phenomena such as diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal pain, it is important that the intestinal defenses are at their best: integrating lactic ferments stabilizes and makes the microflora stronger, an aspect that can also make us face a journey to places where habits he food traditions are completely different from ours.

Using vitamins such as group B vitamins and vitamin C promote the normal function of the immune system.

A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle is the main solution to solve most ailments. If there is no improvement, it is preferable to consult a doctor to check and establish the appropriate therapy to adopt.

Generally, if the intestinal disorder is due to heat or an incorrect diet, the problem can be treated by increasing the intake of water and fiber thanks to vegetables, legumes, cereals and fruit.</p >
