Glowing skin begins with a healthy digestive track.In fact,your Gut is the window of your health.An unhealthy gut disrupts the flora in the skin, as it creates inflammation, “affecting the integrity and protective function of the skin.” This can reduce the skin’s power to fight infection and inflammation ,leading to conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea. Dr. Sadia believes that correcting your gut flora and establishing a healthy glow is easily achieved, as she shares five simple strategies.
1. Stop feeding the bad guys.
The bad flora in your gut has a field day with sugar, dairy and processed grains. Starve the little critters by reducing your intake of these foods,, your skin will thank you.
2..Start taking a probiotic
probiotics have been shown to improve skin conditions by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as strengthening the intestinal barrier. In one study, 80% of participants who received a probiotic experienced improvement in their acne. Make sure to take them under the supervision of your GP or health care provider.
3. Eat probiotic- and fiber-rich foods.
Prebiotics provide food for probiotics and can be just as important as probiotics in maintaining healthy skin and gut. Asparagus, beetroot, pumpkin, flaxseeds and garlic are wonderfully rich prebiotic foods. Fiber helps the process by sweeping away toxins and excess hormones, which can wreak havoc on the skin.
4. Eat fermented foods.
Fermented foods can be a wonderful way of introducing good gut flora in a natural way. They also assist with improving digestion and stopping persistent sugar cravings.
5. Up your digestive ability.
Promoting the body’s hydrochloric acid production is critical to improving its ability to break down and absorb food. Splash apple cider vinegar onto your salads and increasing your consumption of bitter foods such as rocket, dandelion, lemon and radicchio will increase your digestive power
