You have a window screen that is designed to keep bugs out, right? Now imagine holes in your screen. The bugs would be able to fly right in, wouldn’t they? Your gut is the same way. Holes in your “screen,” or lining, allow for “bugs” (toxins, etc.) to seep into your bloodstream and create enormous problems for your overall health, internally and over time; externally as well.

When this happens, your immune system becomes confused and begins attacking itself, thus creating Autoimmunity (literally, the ‘attack of self’). Of course, this doesn’t happen in every case, but in every case of Autoimmunity, it’s well researched that leaky gut is present, often undetected.

Vaccination Damage

The purpose of this article is not to take sides on whether or not you should vaccinate. We do know, however, that vaccinations can be hard on your system - even damaging the healthy bacteria in your gut - so taking and eating probiotic-rich foods and supplements is important to restore your gut health to normal after a round of vaccinations.

Skin Health

More often than not, your skin is a reflection of what is going on inside your body. So instead of working from the outside in, you need to work from the inside out.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and has (approximately) a total area of around 20 square feet. Your skin is a protective organ and keeps everything inside you safe from microbes, chemicals and bacteria. Your skin is also one of the most important eliminatory organs and is sometimes called “the third kidney” because of it’s responsibility to help release toxins from the body.

When the gut bacteria is imbalanced it can lead to leaky gut, which means toxins are released into the bloodstream in high amounts. If you are prone to acne or other skin-related issues, this will generally lead to flare ups and more skin problems. Remember, your skin is a reflection of what is happening inside you.

Dr Whitney P. Bowe, M.D., a certified dermatologist and medical professional talks about the benefits taking probiotics has on our skin.

“While more studies are needed to identify the most beneficial aspects of probiotics and determine whether topical or oral probiotics yield the best results, I think we can expect to see some cutting-edge probiotic products for acne and rosacea in the near future… Until then, I would recommend that patients with acne or rosacea see their dermatologist to talk about adding foods with live active cultures, such as yogurt, to their diets or taking an oral probiotic supplement daily. “

There is more and more research coming out showing that taking probiotics daily may help those with various skin annoyances.

Weak Immunity

Healthy bacteria can train your immune system to distinguish between “foreign” microbes and those originating in your body, making probiotics the best front line against infection.
