<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>When in Doubt Leave These Out<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Did you know? Dry skin, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, and even acne are common issues that may occur if you\u2019re gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive. Naturally, we recommend avoiding gluten.<\/p>\n

We also recommend avoiding dairy and other irritants like processed foods, additives, antibiotics, artificial flavours or colours, sugar, and alcohol.<\/p>\n

Feeling like there\u2019s not much left? We hear you. Start by treating yourself (and your skin!) to a hydrating mineral<\/a> or electrolyte balancing drink. Not only is hydration good for gut health but it\u2019s great for achieving that healthy glow.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Reach for Antioxidant Rich Foods <\/strong><\/h4>\n

After your hydrating mineral water, prioritize dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, and chard. They\u2019re oh-so-delicious when lightly sauteed or steamed. We also love berries as they\u2019re full of nutrients that are essential for glowing skin.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that culinary herbs and spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and oregano have healing benefits that your belly will love, and your skin will saviour. Finally, reach for citrus fruits that are rich in vitamin C, and the occasional cup of green tea to help boost your antioxidant intake!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Are You Getting Enough Fibre? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Dietary fibre plays a critical role in eliminating toxins and waste. This is crucial for reducing cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar, and for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. The truth is, most people only get about half the daily fibre they need.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>CanPrev\u2019s Fibre Feel<\/a> contains acacia fibre that\u2019s been clinically proven to stimulate healthy gut bacteria. Studies show this low-fodmap fibre increases levels of healthy bifidobacteria, reduces inflammation in the gut, and contributes to healthy gut permeability.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Get Plenty of Omega-3\u2019s<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Omega-3 supplementation<\/a> has been shown to reduce inflammation and help improve skin conditions. Since our body doesn\u2019t make essential fatty acids on its own, we must get them through food or supplements.<\/p>\n

You can get a healthy dose of omega-3\u2019s from these fresh whole foods:<\/p>\n
