The skin – the mirror of the soul
You can often recognize our lifestyle by looking at our faces. Maybe we didn't sleep enough, drank too much alcohol or were simply very stressed. The skin appears tired, is red, pale or impure. Of course, nutrition also plays an important role. Either way, our skin often reflects our lifestyle habits.
The skin – the mirror of the intestines
But it's not just our lifestyle that leaves its mark on the skin: the condition of the intestines can also have a demonstrable impact on skin health. Studies have now shown that patients with skin diseases also have changes in the intestinal microbiome. Our psyche also plays an important role. Because stress primarily has a negative effect on our intestinal microbiome, which in turn affects our skin.
The connection between gut and skin health

That's why today we have a simple, easy and delicious breakfast recipe for you that feeds your good intestinal bacteria. So that your intestinal microbiome is happy and your skin shines again!
