Skinspiration... Love your gut

Have your ever heard the saying "you are what you eat"?

This common saying is not necessarily true... it’s much more accurate to say that “you are what you absorb” and the primary organ responsible for this process is our gut. 

Our gut's role is to absorb the nutrients from our food that your body needs for growth, repair, and functioning. 

Your WHOLE bodies function is reliant on the guts absorption ability which in-turn is reliant on your guts health.

With this in-mind; there is a new awareness within the skin industry that beautiful skin begins with the gut!
There are a huge number of internal factors that contribute and create your skin’s appearance, as you may already be aware your skin needs nourishing from within with the correct super-foods and supplements, but this nourishment only flourishes when the gut is healthy. 

Each person has about 1 kg of bacteria living inside their gut!!

Just think about that for a moment… that’s a huge amount of bugs we carry around with us each day! 
Ideally you want to have 85% good bacteria to about 15% bad bacteria. This is an ideal ratio to keep the gut healthy and functioning optimally. It’s when this ratio changes that problems can start to arise. 

Science has proven that there is a direct connection between gut health and skin health and particularly those skin conditions created from inflammation (such as acne, rosacea, eczema and dermatitis).
If a skin is suffering from an inflammatory skin condition then that is a huge indication of an unbalance in the gut health and in-order to treat the skin condition gut health must also be addressed.
Skin that is dull; lacking glow; dry; red; congested; or sensitive is also showing an unbalance in gut health.

WHAT IS BIOHM PROBIOTIC
Most probiotics on the market offen only contain a bacteria form of probiotic BUT; bacteria are only half the story when it comes to rebalancing the gut!  Fungus is equally as important, but is overlooked in most probiotics!
 
The BIOHM probiotic was developed by Dr. Ghannoum, a globally recoginised expert in gut health. BIOHM is the first complete probiotic to contain both good bacteria and good fungi to rebalance the gut’s TOTAL microbiome.

The health of your gut is fundamental to your body.

If you are suffering from inflammation in any area of your body then science has proven that your gut health is out of balance. 
Our skin often acts as the window, giving us clues into our internal health ... read and listen to these signs!
