Medical Video: Use Your Eyes to Find Out Nutritional Deficiencies
As you age, the appearance of wrinkled skin, brown spots, or fine lines on the face is natural. Everyone, like it or not, must be prepared for his presence as a sign that you are getting old. However, did you know that besides indicating age, wrinkles can also be a sign of a health problem in your body?
Face mapping experts say that your face is directly connected to other body parts. Through lines or marks on the skin and eyes, the body will send messages and warning signs about your health.
The more wrinkles, the lower the bone density
Bone density is usually influenced by age, body mass, race, smoking habits, and vitamin intake. But it turns out, research conducted at Yale University found that wrinkles on the skin can actually describe bone density.
The study says that women who have more wrinkles tend to have lower bone density. This is because the skin and bones are formed from a similar protein called collagen type 1, which disappears with age. This situation can be accelerated at menopause, when hormone levels have decreased.
Wrinkles in the ear can be a sign of heart disease
The 2012 research conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles said that people who have diagonal wrinkles in the ear lobe are more likely to show signs of heart disease during CT scans than people who don't have these wrinkles. This is because diagonal wrinkles in the ear lobe can be caused by closing small blood vessels into the ear lobe, which can be a reflection of changes in blood vessels around the heart.
Another study conducted in Denmark also found that people with four signs of aging, namely thinning hairline around the forehead (tempels), baldness on the crown of the head, ear leaf wrinkles, and deposits of fat around the eyelids are more likely to have a heart attack and more who later develop heart disease.
Wrinkles on the face indicate stress
When you are stressed, you tend to wrinkle your eyebrows, which over time can cause the appearance of permanent forehead wrinkles. If you are constantly anxious, your body will release the hormone cortisol, which can reduce collagen in your skin; thus triggering the appearance of wrinkles on the face.
Wrinkles on the face can also indicate excessive sugar consumption
When you consume sweet foods, sugar attaches to the proteins in your body to form AGEs (advanced glycation end products). These AGEs can break down collagen and elastin, so that they can cause more wrinkles or fine wrinkles on the face.
