In last week’s blog we talked about how an unhealthy gut can impact your overall health. Such as, mental health, immune system function, emotions, mood, skin conditions, and even cancer.
Here are a few signs you have an unhealthy gut
Autoimmune Conditions
The presence of an autoimmune condition or disorder is one of the most prevailing physical signs a person has unhealthy gut.
A build up of inflammation throughout the body can cause problems in the immune system, resulting in it working improperly. Instead of the body fighting off foreign invaders, it turns against itself, leading to an autoimmune disorder.
Skin Irritation
A gut imbalance often leads to changes in the skin, the most widespread condition is eczema. Poor diets can lead to gut inflammation and leaking proteins, which can cause skin conditions.
This change can cause the skin surface to become irritated, turning into dermatitis, eczema, and other skin conditions.
Sleep Problems
Do you struggle with staying asleep or inability to fall asleep? A recent disruption in you sleep pattern can be a sign of an imbalance in your gut.
The lack of sleep escalates the body’s stress response, which causes gut inflammation. You may have physical signs of discomfort, gas, bloating and ford sensitive.
