health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes-leben

Every one of us has experienced this: as soon as the long-awaited summer vacation starts, it completely blows us away. Instead of relaxing on the beach or by the pool, we're lying in our hotel bed with flu-like symptoms. How annoying! But why is that?

Why do we get sick when we get away from it all? When we go on vacation, our stress levels drop abruptly, stress hormones are released to a lesser extent and our immune system becomes active. We then develop cold symptoms, for example”, says Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team.

Statistics show that 20 to 30 percent actually fall ill at the start of their vacation. What can we actively do to combat the “Leisure Sickness Syndrome”?

Also: digestive problems, drinking water quality, sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration, mosquito bites – in this episode of our health podcast, we take an in-depth look at potential sources of illness on vacation.

A natural antioxidant from a special micro-algae can help us stay healthy: Astaxanthin – a scientifically highly exciting active ingredient that can protect us from stress factors such as UV radiation, oxidative stress or environmental toxins.

NEW: Astaxanthin is now available as a high-quality supplement from artgerecht! This powerful antioxidant captures and neutralizes free radicals. It supports our body in maintaining cell health and slowing down the ageing process. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and supports a healthy metabolism.
