Today, food safety is defined not only by freshness but also by the purity of the environment in which food is stored. Modern technologies allow control over every factor - from the gas composition in packaging to the microclimate and container materials.
Humanity has always sought to extend the life of food - from the first farmers drying grain in the sun to modern laboratories with vacuum and freeze-drying systems. The reason is the same as it was thousands of years ago: food is seasonal. The ability to preserve it once meant surviving the winter, waiting for the next harvest, and remaining independent of chance supplies.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition where bacteria that are normally present in small amounts in the small intestine—or that typically reside in the large intestine—begin to proliferate in the small intestine. SIBO disrupts normal digestion and nutrient absorption.
Symptoms of SIBO include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. However, it’s not just discomfort—SIBO can significantly impact quality of life, leading to chronic fatigue, skin issues, weight loss, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The underlying cause of SIBO is often another condition, and SIBO is a dysfunction of the gut that results from this primary issue.
