Biodiversity loss on the skin has been linked to a weakened immune system, systemic inflammation, and the release of toxic chemicals into the bloodstream.
These are just a few of the many mechanisms of chronic disease development skin listed in our new published research.
"...damaged skin can induce not just local but systemic inflammation, thought to be a key driver of diseases..."
"...such as stroke, cancer, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions, ischemic heart disease..."
"...such as stroke, cancer, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions, ischemic heart disease..."
This adds to the mounting evidence that damaged skin plays a major role in the Chronic Disease Epidemic.
Therefore, should we be thinking much more about the damage we are doing to our skin?
