Connection Between Your Gut Health and Your Skin

Did you know there’s a connection between the health of your gut and the health of your skin? There are many different microorganisms, including bacteria, that live in the gut and which are often referred to as “flora”. Gastrointestinal (GI) flora provides support for the immune system, nutrient absorption, and removal of toxins from the body through regular healthy bowel movements. These processes help balance flora on the skin, which promotes clear and healthy skin.

Natural Health Care Services has provided some details on probiotics below:

When your body does not have enough good bacteria, harmful gut bacteria can grow and take over the gut environment. Flora imbalances can be caused by poor diet, illness, use of antibiotics, and stress. All of those things show up in the health of the skin: how dry/oily it is, type and severity of acne, and risk for autoimmune-related skin disorders. Symptoms of imbalance can include persistent gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. To maintain or rebalance GI flora, consider adding probiotics to your diet.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are similar to the good microorganisms naturally found in the gut. There are many types of bacteria classified as probiotics. Some of the health benefits of probiotics are:

• Boosts the immune system by enhancing the production of antibodies
• Supports the synthesis of vitamins and other nutrients
• Provides relief or treatment for constipation, diarrhea and other GI tract illness

• Helps organ systems to efficiently absorb nutrients
• Strengthens the immune system
• Helps clear toxins from the body

You can boost the presence of good GI flora by taking a probiotic supplement as well as eating fermented foods. There are many varieties of probiotics on the market. Not all are created equal and some are a better fit to different health needs. Your holistic health provider like Natural Health Care can advise you on the type of probiotic supplement that is best for your skincare concerns.
