New research finds four supplements that protect the gut during hot weather exercise
Exercise in high heat diverts blood flow from the gut, causing leaky gut, inflammation and harder recovery. A two-strain probiotic lowered heart rate by 14 beats per minute and reduced GI symptoms during hot workouts. Curcumin reduced intestinal injury markers by 29% and stabilized inflammation after just three days of supplementation. Berberine made exercise feel […]

Diet as defense: How everyday foods could disarm deadly bacteria
New research suggests common dietary proteins like casein (from dairy) and wheat gluten can disarm cholera bacteria, reducing infection levels 100-fold in mice. The proteins work by jamming a syringe-like structure the bacteria uses to attack beneficial gut microbes. This food-based strategy offers a potential alternative to antibiotics, avoiding the risk of creating drug-resistant superbugs. […]
