Gut Health Reflects on Skin
- Your gut health directly impacts your skin's condition because your gut lining is like your skin turned inside out.
- Probiotics and even dead bacteria can significantly enhance skin health by fostering a balanced gut microbiome.
Feed Friendly Gut Bacteria
- Feed your gut bacteria with soluble fiber, not just probiotics, to ensure they thrive and support your skin.
- Avoid insoluble fibers like grains that damage your gut lining and negatively affect your skin.
Eat Prebiotic-Rich Foods
- Incorporate flaxseeds, artichokes, leeks, okra, and jicama into meals as excellent sources of prebiotic soluble fiber.
- Prepare frozen or canned artichokes and other veggies easily by sautéing, baking, or adding to soups and stews for gut and skin benefits.
