✈️ How to protect your gut health while traveling

It’s very common for travel to wreak havoc on our digestive system, due to a number of factors from eating new foods to time changes (yes, “gut-lag” is a thing). | Photo by Pendulum

We’ve all been there: a sunny beach, a gorgeous new city, a cute little cabin — and then you feel the dreaded rumble. Your stomach doesn’t feel good, and you have to get to a bathroom, pronto.

Don’t let that happen to you. Before your next summer trip, brush up on five tips to keep your gut happy on the go:

1. Stay hydrated. Stick to (safe) tap or bottled water.
2. Pack probiotics. Pro tip: Sprint to checkout (instead of the bathroom) for 20% off Metabolic Daily with code 6AMCITY.

From the editor

Okay it’s happening... it’s officially 100 degrees in San Antonio. I don’t know about y’all but the summers in San Antonio and I don’t get along. I’m not looking forward to burning my hands on my steering wheel and sweating in a hot shade until October. This might be the summer I finally shave my head (just kidding Mom).

However, I’m looking forward to checking out more places to cool off around the Alamo City. Catch me at a hotel pool this summer.
