We mentioned in a previous post that gut health is so important, and can influence the appearance of your skin. We also shared some ways to improve your gut health! Today we're going to talk about some specific ways that gut health is linked to skin appearance, so you know how and why they are connected.
How Are They Connected?
The connection between the gut and the skin is called the gut-skin axis. Your gut separates the contents of your intestines from the rest of your body's interior. It's also where a majority of our immune system lies. Inside the gut is a huge collection of bacteria called the gut microbiome, and it helps our body in many ways. But sometimes something comes along that causes the lining of your gut to become inflamed or the microbiome to become unbalanced and your body then responds by getting ready to fight the inflammation. The barrier between gut contents and the rest of your body can become loose, and unwanted gut contents start to leak through which can lead to whole-body inflammation. Between the inflammation, and the fighting response of our body towards it, the protective role of our skin can become impaired. As our body's largest organ, what's going on on the outside is a great indicator of what's happening on the inside. 1, 2
What Can You Do?
A good step is following what we laid out in this blog post. Eating healthier is always a good place to start, for any of your health goals! Adding more fiber-rich and probiotic-packed foods into your diet, and limiting sugars and alcohol can have a long-lasting effect. And don't forget to drink more water, get more sleeping, and move your body!
Paying attention to your gut health is important, especially as it's linked to your overall health. But improving your gut health can also help you to have clearer, younger-looking skin, and that's something we'd all love!
