Tips for Staying Healthy While Traveling this Summer
Going on summer vacation with your family is a great way to spend quality time together and create unforgettable memories. However, it's important to keep everyone healthy during your trip to ensure that you can enjoy all the fun activities without any setbacks.
Traveling can disrupt your body's natural rhythms and make it more challenging to maintain good health. "Traveler's tummy," also known as traveler's diarrhea, is a common condition that affects many travelers, especially during the summer vacation season. It is usually caused by consuming contaminated food or water, and can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Taking probiotics like Dr. Ohhira's probiotics can be an effective way to support your digestive system and immune system while you're on the go. Here are 10 tips for staying healthy while traveling this summer:

Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets and Others Not?
By Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, PhD
Scientific Director for Essential Formulas
Have you ever wondered why mosquitoes like you so much? Mosquitoes seem to be more attracted to some people than others. Our ever-expanding knowledge of the microbiome, probiotics and postbiotic metabolites is providing some interesting answers.

Your skin microbiome refers to the bacteria that naturally reside in or on the human body. Our skin alone is home to over 1000 different species of bacteria. After puberty, the composition of our individual microbiome tends to stay relatively constant, even with continuous exposure to new bacteria in the surrounding environment.

Natural Repellants for Keeping Mosquitos Away!
As temperatures warm up, mosquitos seem to arrive in droves. Below are natural, non-chemical ways to keep them from ruining your summer outings.
1. Essential oils
Essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint, and lavender contain compounds that repel mosquitoes naturally. One study published in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association found that citronella oil was as effective as DEET in repelling mosquitoes for up to two hours.
2. Garlic
Garlic contains compounds such as allicin released through the skin, making it difficult for mosquitoes to detect you. While there is limited research on the effectiveness of garlic as a mosquito repellent, a study published in the Journal of Vector Ecology found that garlic oil was effective in repelling mosquitoes for up to eight hours.
3. Neem oil
Neem oil is a natural insecticide and repellent. A study published in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association found that neem oil effectively repels mosquitoes for up to 12 hours.
