The altered gut microbiota and endotoxin productio

The altered gut microbiota and endotoxin production promote the release of Substance P in both the gut and the skin increasing inflammation and oxidative stress. Inflammatory mediators such as CRP, interleukins, TNF, Sub P are elevated, and insulin sensitivity is decreased. Fiona Tuck Nutritional MedicineThough not yet fully explored, the mechanisms by which intestinal microbiota exert their influence on skin homeostasis appear to be related to the modulatory effect of gut commensals on systemic inflammation and immunity.
Supporting a healthy gut microbiota via a healthy diet by increasing the diversity of plant foods for prebiotic benefit tends to be overlooked yet one of the most important places to start when we are looking to support skin health holistically and lower systemic inflammation.Foundations of healthy eating for skin health 👇
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Reduce stress
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Include at least 30 different plant-based foods per week – brightly coloured fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and wholegrains – Diversity is key for intake of Vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, phytochemicals, prebiotics and fibre
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Oily fish 3 times per week (omega 3)
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Include small amounts of fermented foods such as kefir, yoghurt and sauerkraut – be wary, fermented foods may aggravate rosacea, eczema, perioral dermatitis.
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Extra virgin olive oil – 30 – 40ml per day
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Minimise animal fats, ultra-processed foods, coconut oil and processed meats
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Minimise refined carbohydrates, sugars, soft drinks and alcohol
🤍🔸💆‍♀️Avoid restrictive diets unless there is a medical reason to do so
🤍🔸💆‍♀️All things in moderation

Did you know that carotenoids are vitamin A deriva

Did you know that carotenoids are vitamin A derivates like β-carotene, astaxanthin, lycopene and retinol?These are all highly effective antioxidants and have been documented to possess photoprotective properties. Findings of Scarmo et al. suggest that human skin is relatively enriched in lycopene and β-carotene, compared with lutein and zeaxanthin, possibly reflecting a specific function of hydrocarbon carotenoids in human skin photoprotection.There is no difference between naturally occurring and chemically synthesised β-carotene. Furthermore, β-carotene can also act as a lipid radical scavenger and as a singlet oxygen quencher, as demonstrated through in vitro studies. Based on the distribution of BCMO1 in human tissues it seems that β-carotene metabolism takes place in a wide variety of organs, including the skin.Here are some natural sources of carotenoids that we can include in our diet.
These include✨Carrots
✨Pumpkin
✨Sweet potatoes
✨Mangos
✨PapayaRead more in the latest edition of APJ 👇 (Out Now)
