Improving gut health for skincare
You've heard the saying, "you are what you eat," but "you are what you digest" is more accurate. It's a more complete level of understanding, because digestion converts food into energy — producing nutrients that support and sustain your body and experiences. Poor digestion can lead to imbalances, low energy, gas, a heavy feeling and a buildup of digestive impurities and many other problems.
Though there are so many signs of digestive imbalances, let’s focus on one today - Skin irritation. Acne, eczema so many skin diseases can be a cause of digestive imbalance. If you have an unhealthy gut it can have a big impact on our overall health and especially the appearance of your skin, including spots, inflammation, eczema and rosacea.
4 Tips to improve Gut health naturally -
Make sure you get enough sleep at night. Proper rest can help reduce the stress level and maintain a healthy gut. Try to prioritize getting at least 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
Stay hydrated. Drink lots of fluids, be it juices, warm water, herbal teas. It will have beneficial effect on the mucosal lining of the intestines, as well as on the balance of good bacteria in the gut.

Change your diet. Eat healthy and mindfully. Include fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of whole grains and proteins in diet.
The human gut is more complex than previous notions and is something that has to be given proper care. It’s not easy to start a new routine but it’s much harder to stick to a new routine. So start slowly and try sticking to it for a healthy gut.
