Summer is a time for travel, wonderful discoveries, and relaxation... but it can also be a source of unexpected inconveniences. To protect yourself from the little hassles that often plague travelers, Laboratoires Le Stum offers a selection of products, designed as a "travel kit" to pack in your luggage.
Intestinal discomfort
During a stay abroad, vacationers may experience digestive discomfort, sometimes very bothersome, which may be linked to the ingestion of contaminated water or food. This often leads to traveler's diarrhea, also known as turista, which generally occurs during the first week of the trip.
To avoid these feelings of discomfort, strict hygiene measures can be applied:
- Wash your hands regularly
- Prefer to consume boiled or closed bottled water
- Avoid raw vegetables, ice cubes and undercooked meat
It's important to maintain the balance of our intestinal flora, which is put to the test when traveling abroad. A course of lactic acid bacteria helps maintain intestinal balance.
LE STUM Laboratories have developed a specific product based on lactic ferments to meet the needs of adults and children. This product is called LACTOSPECTRUM. .
LACTOSPECTRUM is a combination of 10 strains of lactic ferments and a matrix containing inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides as well as a mineral mix.
If possible, start a little before leaving on vacation.
Heavy legs
With the sun and heat, many people suffer from pain, tingling, and a feeling of heaviness in their legs. These symptoms indicate venous insufficiency (the inability of the veins to properly pump blood from the feet back to the heart). Nearly a third of French people, the majority of whom are women, are affected by circulatory problems and the associated discomfort.
Simple actions can improve blood circulation: eat a balanced diet, elevate your legs when sitting and at night, avoid wearing tight clothing and shoes, finish your shower with a cold stream of water on your legs, and exercise regularly. Some plants are also traditionally used to improve symptoms of discomfort and heaviness in the legs.
VEINO-LYMPHAX is a dietary supplement combining four plant extracts with unique molecular profiles. These extracts work together to provide a complementary effect and are highly bioavailable. Ginkgo and Sweet Clover extracts help maintain good venous circulation.
A toned and firm body
Summer invites us to feel energetic, toned, and healthy. Exercise is essential for achieving visible and lasting results on your figure. Focus on cardiovascular exercise two to three times a week: brisk walking, swimming, fitness classes, or cycling. This type of activity not only works the heart and the entire cardiovascular system, but also burns calories and builds muscle mass.
Ideally, these cardiovascular exercises should be combined with muscle strengthening exercises targeting the abs, glutes, thighs, and arms to tone your body and regain tone. These exercises can be easily performed outdoors and even at home, with the only equipment required being a mat and weights (which can be replaced with water bottles if necessary).
During the holidays, it is always possible to adopt small gestures to increase your calorie expenditure:
- Make short trips on foot (go to the bakery, shop at the market, etc.)
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator,
- Do core exercises.
The key is to set achievable goals and keep your motivation intact to achieve visible and lasting results.
SEAPIAX (for muscle preparation and recovery)
SEAPIAX is an innovative and patented marine food supplement extracted from cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis). The proteins contained in SEAPIAX help support the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Our products can be combined with each other without interference.
