The gut-skin is something that you might not be familiar with but in a nutshell, the health of our gut affects the health of our skin. In case you are just starting this journey, then some things that harm our gut health include stuff such as: -Stress Stress severely decreases the expression of lysozyme which is responsible for killing bacteria (way more than even stomach acid). So never eat when stressed. -Birth control pills One of the reasons why so many women face problems with yeast overgrowth is birth control pills. Cut them out. -Vegan diets (no bioavailable protein, a lot of enzyme inhibitors, not enough zinc, too many supplements etc) -Lack of sleep -Lack of movement -Too many starches -Things such as high fructose corn syrup -NSAIDs -Alcohol -Hybridized grains -Fats such as canola and so on (oxidized by default and if you know anything about the environment of the gut that’s a de*th sentence) -PUFAs -Tap water -The over consumption of legumes, unsprouted nuts and seeds -Food additives such as artificial colorings and thickeners -Fragrances -Cleaning products such as chlorine -A1 dairy -Supplement additives such as: 1. Titanium dioxide 2. Silicon dioxide 3. Red 40 4. Yellow 5 5. Blue 2 And things that support our gut health include: -Whole quality foods -Small walks post meals -Getting enough K, thiamine, vitamin C, sodium, potassium, selenium, magnesium and zinc All of which play a crucial role in things such as stomach acid production, butyrate production, digestive enzymes, intestinal barrier health, preventing the oxygenation of the gut environment, the production of SCFAs and a lot more. -Ginger tea -EVOO -Sunlight -Eating until 80% full And then you have things that are contextual such as: -Cold pressed BSO -Fresh coconut and lime/lemon juice (do not over do it) -Bitters (don’t over do it) -Taurine -Glycine and things of thins nature. fitandball.gumroad.com/l/the…
