When we think about glowing skin, we often picture expensive serums or fancy facials, but real radiance starts from within. Your gut health plays a major role your digestion, as well as skin clarity, energy levels, and mood.
Also, I attached literally the most delicious gut friendly recipe with ingredients you can find anywhere!
What Is Gut Health and Why Should We Care?
Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This ecosystem is known as your gut microbiome—and it’s responsible for far more than digestion.
A 2018 study in Frontiers in Microbiology reveals how an imbalanced gut can lead to skin problems through inflammation and immune disruption. Ew.
Gut Health for Glowing Skin
–Reduces Inflammation: Good gut bacteria regulate your immune system and calm chronic skin inflammation.
-Boosts Nutrient Absorption: Helps your body absorb key nutrients like vitamin A, E, and zinc.
-Balances Hormones: Supports healthy hormone metabolism, reducing breakouts and dry patches.
5 Gut-Friendly Habits for a Healthier Glow
- Eat More Fiber : Fiber is found in fruits, veggies, whole grains. My favorite ways include; tossing some chia seeds in my chocolate cake, honey wheat germ in my ice cream or oats, and finally, delicious, seasoned, crispy, roasted chickpeas!
- Try Fermented Foods – Yogurt, kefir or kimchi.
- Hydrate or Diedrate!– Water supports digestion and detoxes the whole body.
- Reduce Sugar & Processed Foods – They feed bad gut bacteria. I still love gushers though 🙁
- Manage Stress – Breathwork, journaling, or daily walks can improve digestion.
