As a travel host, I have visited dozens of countries and over a thousand cities around the world, from India to Guatemala, from Dubrovnik to Manila. It’s my dream job, and I know how fortunate I am that I get to make a living doing what I love. But it doesn’t come without its risks, which include occasional digestive illnesses, which can crop up out of nowhere after drinking questionable water or eating food made in unsanitary conditions. Here are my tips on how to maintain gut health while traveling.

My job requires me to look confident and comfortable on-camera at all times. The best way to look confident and comfortable is to feel confident and comfortable. I feel my most confident and comfortable when I know my digestive health is being supported. Luckily for me, I found Digestive Advantage, which can help with that.

Digestive Advantage is a probiotic product that works by populating your gut with beneficial bacteria. These bacteria can positively affect your digestive balance and immune system. The natural protein shell around the good bacteria in Digestive Advantage help them survive the harsh, acidic environment of your stomach. The protein shell that helps them survive 100 times better than those in other supplements, yogurt, and cereal. Other products can contain billions of good bacteria, but most of them are killed by the acid in your stomach.

Digestive Advantage is also extremely convenient. You only need to take two of their gummies, or just one capsule, every day. That’s all. In comparison, you would need to eat eight cups of yogurt to get the same number of good bacteria in your gut. And, it’s important to note that most of the bacteria from the yogurt wouldn’t survive the acidic environment. Plus, eight cups of yogurt contain a massive amount of sugar, fat, and dairy. One of my New Year resolutions was to eliminate dairy from my diet, and Digestive Advantage helps me do that.

Other quick tips to help you maintain your gut health while traveling include keeping your hands clean. Seriously, wash your hands before you eat anything and you can cut back on the probability of you getting sick. Carry hand sanitizer with you just in case you don’t have access to soap and water. And buy travel insurance! It’s not an unnecessary travel expense. It can really help you out a lot if you get sick while traveling and need to get medical attention.
