Summer is the season of vibrant trips and parties, but it is also a time when our digestive system becomes more sensitive than ever. High temperatures cause food to spoil quickly, which combined with changing lifestyle habits, can easily lead to unexpected stomachaches or digestive disorders. Let’s explore with KIGO how to care for this crucial ‘engine’ so you can fully enjoy an energetic summer.
1. Why is the digestive system called the body’s ‘second brain’?
Science has proven that the gut possesses an incredibly complex neural network with over 100 million neurons, capable of functioning independently and communicating intimately with the brain. That is why when you are stressed, your stomach ‘ties in knots’, or when your gut microbiome is imbalanced, your mood becomes irritable and fatigued. A healthy digestive system not only helps absorb nutrients but also accounts for 70 – 80% of your immune system’s strength.
2. Hidden Threats to Your Gut in Daily Life
In our modern, fast-paced lifestyle, our gut faces numerous pressures:
- Scorching heat: Extreme heat is not only an ideal condition for bacteria to multiply (causing food to spoil), but it also causes the body to lose water and raises your core temperature. During this time, blood flow is prioritized toward the skin for cooling, leaving the digestive system starved. This leads to poor contractions, bloating, and a prolonged loss of appetite.
- Contaminated & Fast Food: Preservatives, toxic chemical residues, and recycled oils are direct agents that destroy the stomach lining. Uncontrolled food consumption not only kills essential beneficial bacteria but also creates an environment for harmful bacteria to thrive, causing a severe microbiome imbalance.
- Work-related Stress: Prolonged stress disrupts the signals between the brain and the ‘second brain’, causing disorders in the contraction and secretion of gastric juices. This is the leading cause of acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and sudden abdominal cramps, directly affecting work performance.
- Abuse of Antibiotics & Alcohol: Stimulants and high-dose medications unintentionally wipe out your natural beneficial bacteria, leaving the gut empty and defenseless. When this immune barrier collapses, the body is easily attacked by pathogenic germs, leading to conditions like diarrhea or chronic enteritis.
These cumulative effects overwhelm even a resilient digestive system. Without timely intervention, these silent damages will gradually turn into chronic diseases, deteriorating overall health and stripping away your confidence in daily life.
3. The ‘Clean Eating – Green Living’ Secret to a Healthy Gut
To protect your ‘second brain’, changing your daily habits is a top priority:
- Supplement with fiber-rich foods and Probiotics: Make friends with green vegetables, fresh fruits, and naturally fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi. Fiber acts as a ‘broom’ to sweep the gut clean, while Probiotics help rebalance a damaged microbiome.
- The ‘cook thoroughly, drink boiled water’ rule and summer food storage: Never leave food at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Eat smaller meals, prioritize daily fresh foods, and always ensure your drinking water is clean and sterilized to avoid the risk of summer intestinal infections.
However, in today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a perfect diet is not always easy. When clean food isn’t enough to compensate for accumulated damage, proactively supplementing with high-tech extracted bioactive compounds provides the necessary boost to restore the microbiome and regenerate gut strength.
