Studies show that 60% of our immune system lies in the gut. Our gut health has A LOT to do with majority of health problems.
Did you know that the GUT has its own nervous system? Many people suffer from intestinal permeability or what we call the ‘leaky gut’ syndrome. In this condition, the gaps in your intestinal wall start to loosen allowing toxic substances to pass through and enter your bloodstream.
The skin and gut have a lot in common as they both work to detox and remove toxins from our body. Thus, if your gut is not healthy and not removing toxins properly, your skin takes up the work of detoxing your body. This is in the form of rashes, acne or other skin problems. Many researchers have called this the Gut-Brain-Skin theory which basically states that gut balance, your emotions and skin are correlated.
A really simple yet crucial step is to chew your food. The purpose of this process is to break down the food we eat so that it is easier to digest once swallowed.
In order to maintain good bacteria in our body, we should consume fermented foods.
Fluids are another key element in the waste elimination process. Women should drink at least 2.2 litres of water per day while men should drink at least 3 litres per day.
The last tip is to feed good food to your skin. If you haven’t already, make the switch to using natural skincare products.
