Educação em saúde na escola: o cuidado com à saúde do intestino e a relação com a estética e fisiologia da pele

Abstract

The intestinal microbiota can act intrinsically on skin health, through the modulation of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Thus, it is possible to prevent or treat inflammatory diseases in the skin, besides being related to the well-being of individuals, which involves health promotion. In this sense, the main objective of this applied research was to analyze the close relationship of the intestinal microbiota associated with health care and the physiology of the skin, with the purpose of developing health education materials aimed at the school community. For this, a bibliographic research approach was developed, consisting of secondary scientific productions that approached the intestine-skin health axis, where, in a second moment, health education materials for teachers and students were developed. Finally, we sought to apply or translate the scientific concepts related to the intestine-skin health axis with a didactic language to raise awareness about the importance of caring for the health of the intestinal microbiota in order to have healthier skin and also to include the topic in the planning of biology teachers' classes.
