What Does It Take To Have And Maintain Good Skin?

We all want great skin. For some, it comes naturally while being a huge task to achieve such skin for others. Looking to the detox diets for answers is one of the options people consider, but it only offers temporary solutions meaning that the skin issues individuals are facing are bound to resurface at worse than they were before.

More often than not, skin issues are associated with four factors: hormonal imbalances, toxicity, digestive dysfunction and nutrient deficiencies.

Hormonal Imbalances

Humans share similar hormones though in different ratios between the two genders. Males and females will experience changes in their hormone levels as during certain stages of their life, and this often impacts them physically and emotionally. The link between hormones and skin problems is often notable during puberty. Other occasions worth mentioning include the use thyroid supplements and hormone replacement therapy in women and the use of anabolic steroid supplements in men. The endocrine system (hormone system) is complex and can trigger skin problems when it’s thrown off balance by stress, supplementation, poor dieting, and toxicity.

Toxicity

We live in a toxic age, a time when we are exposed to all manner to toxins; from what we drink and eat to the air we breathe and the body products we use. Internally, the body has elements such as bacteria that produce toxins. Luckily, the body is naturally equipped mechanisms (lungs, kidneys, bowel, liver, and the skin) that get rid of toxins. Things can get thick when the mechanisms are incapacitated like when the liver gets worked up because too many toxins overburden it. The body will opt to expel the increased toxins via the skin. Poor digestion and wrong dietary choices are linked to the improper functions of the liver and other organs leading to hormonal imbalances and toxic backup in the body.

Digestive Dysfunction

Research has found a link between having a good digestive system and a healthy skin. A study done on the effects of antibiotics in treating skin problems found that they have a positive impact because the antibiotics kill the bacteria in your digestive system. So the next time you take antibiotics to treat a cold, it will also do some magic for your skin. However, the body has both good and bad bacteria and do not want to kill the good ones while trying to reduce the bad ones. Therefore, consider taking a natural approach when trying to lower the risk of digestive dysfunction by making better food and lifestyle choices.

Nutrient Deficiencies

The body needs proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to stay healthy and function properly. A deficiency in any one of these nutrients can trigger a chain of events that lead to the development of skin issues. Sometimes, you may be eating a balanced diet by the body does not get what it needs. The reason for this would be due to a broken digestive system leading to nutrient deficiencies that causes hormonal imbalances that manifest on the skin.

Understanding and appreciating the relevance of the four factors mentioned above will help you understand the following tips below that you can put into practice to have and maintain a clear complexion and healthy skin.
