    GLOWING SKIN STARTS IN YOUR GUT

Transcript

Don't know why no one is talking about this, but your skin care routine starts in your gut. Studies show that soluble fiber improves your gut microbiome and reduces inflammation. Soluble fiber is the ultimate skin hack. It makes short chain fatty acids in your gut that keep your skin hydrated and fight inflammation. Less inflammation means less red, puffy skin, less acne, and less aging. I used to have cystic acne, and one of the best things I ever did was cut out simple sugars and up my fiber intake. Not only did my acne go away, I also pooped three to four times a day and never binge eat anymore. Before you go and spend all your money on expensive skin care products, get your gut game straight rank get in at least ten grams of soluble fiber a day. Give it a couple months, and I promise your skin will thank you. Peace.
