Nutrition Doctor's Diet Tips for Developing Natural Skin"},"content":{"rendered":"

Previous article<\/a>We explored the inseparable relationship between the "gut" and "skin" - the concept of the "gut-skin axis". An imbalance of intestinal flora, impaired barrier function, leaky gut, and endotoxins (LPS) produced by bad bacteria may all trigger a systemic inflammatory response, causing problems such as acne, sensitivity, dryness, dullness, and even accelerated aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After understanding the gut-skin axis principle, this article and the next one will provide you with some proven and effectiveThe principles of "three supplements" and "three no's"<\/strong>, through these specific practical strategies. For each principle, I willList the WHY and HOW<\/strong>, let\u2019s discuss why these principles can help improve skin conditions and how we can put them into practice in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us achieve the goal of "beautifying skin and anti-aging" through "intestinal care"!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three supplement principles: supplement good bacteria, supplement fiber, supplement antioxidants<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to maintain a healthy intestine and have healthy skin, we can start by "increasing" elements that are beneficial to the intestine and skin:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principle 1: Supplement with probiotics<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
WHY: Probiotics are a powerful supplement for the intestines and a key teammate for stabilizing skin conditions<\/mark><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Remember we werePrevious<\/a>The mentionedIntestinal battlefield \u00d7 Skin battlefield<\/strong>"?" When the intestinal flora is out of balance, there is a loophole in the command chain of the immune system.Probiotics are like friendly troops dropping in to support<\/strong>, enter the intestines and stabilize the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, probiotics can compete with bad bacteria for resources and territory, and will actively adhere to the intestinal wall and establish "Microbial Barrier<\/strong>\u300d\uff08Just like playing Go!<\/mark>), to avoid the invasion of bad bacteria. Some probiotics can also secrete natural antibacterial substances to fight potential pathogens. What\u2019s more, specific strains (such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria) have been proven toCan regulate the immune system and reduce inflammatory responses<\/strong>, and helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier, reduce intestinal leakage and systemic inflammation, indirectly stabilize skin conditions, reduce redness, dryness, itching and recurring acne.1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Image\"
Figure 1: We can imagine the intestine as a Go board. On this board,Good bacteria are like white pieces, taking the lead to occupy the key position<\/strong>, forming lines and enclosures. When the white pieces are dense enough to form a complete block, even if bad bacteria (black pieces) appear, they will not be able to intervene or survive.
Maintaining the microbial barrier means allowing good bacteria to lay out their moves first and carve out their own "beneficial bacteria territory."<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
HOW: No matter what happens, take more good bacteria<\/mark><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we can not only eat probiotic products, but also get a lot of probiotics from our diet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dietary intake<\/strong>\uff1aCan be obtained from daily diet, such as sugar-free yogurt, kimchi (Especially sauerkraut<\/mark>), miso, natto, and the recently popular kombucha, etc. These fermented foods are not only rich in various strains of bacteria, but also contain a variety of postbiotics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Nutritional Supplements<\/strong>: If you want a more precise supplement, you can consider commercially available probiotic products. It should be noted that different strains have different effects, so you should chooseSpecific strains are labeled and supported by clinical studies<\/strong>products. In addition, you should also pay attention to whether the formula has any unnecessary additives, and whether it is designed with prebiotics and postbiotics to help improve the survival and efficiency of probiotics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Principle 2: Supplement with prebiotics<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    WHY: Replenishing food for good bacteria is like replenishing military rations during a war.<\/mark><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    If probiotics are soldiers on the intestinal battlefield, thenPrebiotics are the food supply for logistics<\/strong>. Although prebiotics themselves are not directly absorbed by the human body, they are a precious and efficient source of energy for the "good bacteria" in the intestines. They mainly come from dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, which can be selectively utilized by probiotics, and are particularly beneficial to the proliferation and activation of good bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When good bacteria are well fed, they will produce metabolites that are extremely valuable to the human body, especially the ones we have been talking about in the previous article. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)<\/strong>. These tiny molecules are not only the main source of energy for intestinal epithelial cells, but can also strengthen the intestinal barrier, regulate immune response, and reduce inflammation. Some studies even indicate that they may indirectly participate in the anti-aging and stabilization mechanisms of the skin. in other words,Ensuring that good bacteria eat properly and produce well is the starting point for maintaining good skin quality.<\/strong>2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HOW: Eat more vegetables no matter what<\/mark><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, that\u2019s right, it\u2019s that simple and violent! If you want to feed the good bacteria in your intestines, you don\u2019t actually need any special ingredients. Just go back toNatural, unprocessed foods<\/strong>can do it. In your daily diet, you can eat more natural foods rich in dietary fiber, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
