Struggling with acne & hormones can all be linked back to your gut health. Grumbles and rumbles, pain, and bloating are all signs your digestive system is out of whack. An issue this can lead to is inflammation, and systemic inflammation can be blamed for everything ranging from digestive bloating to mysterious skin rashes and acne breakouts.
Here are some steps you can take to support your gut ⬇️
🦷🪥Take care of your teeth: There’s a huge overlap between your oral health and your gut health. If your teeth are with bad bacteria (such as from tooth decay), that can make its way down into your intestines.
🥒 Reach for fermented foods: The importance of eating probiotics can’t be overstated. In turn, you’ll have a belly full of happy, good-for-you bacteria.
🚫🍩 Nix the artificial sweeteners: Artificial sweeteners can raise your body’s insulin levels just like sugar can.
🥑 Eat a clean, fiber-rich diet: Plant fibers are great for feeding your gut bacteria, and keeping them happy.
🍫Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate is full of polyphenols, which have been shown to help keep your gut flora nice and happy while they work in your favor.
🧘🏼♀️🚴🏻♀️Take a closer look at your lifestyle: Stay aware of your stress levels, get enough sleep and exercise.
