Skin Gut Connection
With beauty standards at an all-time high, we are all chasing that enviable healthy glow...clear, poreless, supple, youthful skin. In fact, there are countless products on the market today that promise the world when it comes to this topic. But– what if I told you that this desirable outer glow actually starts on the inside?...actually, way inside– in your gut to be exact.
Your skin, it’s the largest organ of your body and your most outer layer of protection. Like your gut, it provides a home to millions of bacteria and when this bacteria is in balance it contributes to this healthy outer glow.
Your gut, it’s your inner layer of defense representing roughly 70% of your immune system– along with trillions of friendly bacteria that make up your gut microbiome. These beneficial bacteria play a crucial role in your gut health and overall health. Helping with things like mineral and vitamin absorbency, digestion, hormone regulation, immune response, and the body’s ability to get rid of toxins.
It turns out, these two protectors– your skin and gut– are in fact connected by something commonly known as the Gut-Skin Axis. While your gut is helping to protect you against illness and keep the toxins down, your skin is working to eliminate the waste that is a result of the battles taking place in your gut. In other words, it’s the bacteria and bacteria by-products that make up this connection.
Your bacteria and bacterial by-products are connected with your endocrine system, metabolism and immune system. When those systems are not working properly, it can impact your overall health and typically shows itself as a skin issue. This doesn't mean that your gut is to blame for every blemish and rash you might get, but it’s a good place to start when it comes to that outer glow.
Nourish your gut – and your skin– by introducing probiotic supplements into your diet.
