Speaking face-to-face is a well-known practice of communication. But looking someone in the eyes also works to identify signs of health issues.
A healthy and young appearance is usually linked with good health. So, we sometimes fall into the temptation of blaming our age and stress for the fine lines, brittle nails, or hair loss, when, actually, these things can be signs of health issues. Did you know that?
Here on the channel, we already talked about body smells, facial acne, and the half-moon in your nails and how all these things might be health issues.
0:48 Facial flushing Flushed cheeks aren't always a signal of shyness. Facial flushing and acne lesions are common symptoms of rosacea, a chronic skin disease.
1:10 Changes in the skin color around the mouth Grayish skin on the nasolabial triangle can indicate a lack of oxygen in the blood.
1:32 Swollen face and eyes Facial edema and swollen eyes, combined with dry skin and brittle hair are some of the external symptoms of lack of iodine.
2:00 Facial asymmetry A sudden change in the symmetry of your face, lacrimation, tingling in the muscles, and dry eyes might indicate Bell's palsy.
2:35 Receding chin When combined with a large neck and small mandible, it might be a sign of sleep apnea, a disorder where the breathing is interrupted by ten or more seconds during sleep.
2:53 Excessive facial hair Undesired facial hair on women, especially on the jawline, might be a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome.
3:14 Chapped lips Did you know that your lips can tell a lot about your health? Dry lips might be a reaction to a medication, an occupational risk (for metal singers, for example), or a symptom of allergy, infections, or other conditions.

Speaking face to face is a well-known practice of communication, but looking someone in the
eyes also works to identify signs of health issues.
A healthy and young appearance is usually linked with good health, so we sometimes fall
into the temptation of blaming our age and stress for the fine lines, brittle nails,
or hair loss, when, actually, these things can be signs of health issues.
Did you know that?
Here on the channel, we already talked about body smells, facial acne, and the half-moon
in your nails and how all these things might be health issues.
Do you want to learn more?
Then watch the videos on the card at the end of this video.
See which symptoms you should pay attention to.
Facial flushing Flushed cheeks aren't always a signal of
shyness.
Facial flushing and acne lesions are common symptoms of rosacea, a chronic skin disease,
although its exact cause isn't known yet.
The redness on the face is caused by erythemas that usually start in the middle of the face
and may evolve into more serious things, like pustules.
Changes in the skin color around the mouth Grayish skin on the nasolabial triangle can
indicate a lack of oxygen in the blood.
Paleness or a bluish hue on the area indicate changes in blood circulation.
It can mean lung or heart diseases and even anemia.
In any case, if you notice persistent symptoms, talk to an expert.
Swollen face and eyes Facial edema and swollen eyes, combined with
dry skin and brittle hair, are some of the external symptoms of lack of iodine.
This element is responsible for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, and its
lack can negatively impact all the body.
If you notice an increased sensibility to the cold, irregularities in your periods,
and frequent weight fluctuation, it might be a good idea to talk to an endocrinologist.
Facial asymmetry A sudden change in the symmetry of your face,
lacrimation, tingling in the muscles, and dry eyes might indicate Bell's palsy.
This neurological disease happens suddenly and is characterized by sharp pains and muscle
tremors.
Scientists believe that it is caused by viral infections that cause swelling and inflammation
in the facial nerve.
Pregnant women, people with colds, and diabetic people are the ones at most risk of facial
palsy.
In one-third of the patients, the symptoms of Bell's palsy disappear alone in two weeks.
Receding chin When combined with a large neck and small
mandible, it might be a sign of sleep apnea, a disorder where the breathing is interrupted
by 10 or more seconds during sleep.
If you snore loudly, have headaches when you wake up, or if you feel tired throughout the
day, schedule a visit to your doctor.
Excessive facial hair Undesired facial hair on women, especially
on the jawline, might be a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome, which causes a hormonal imbalance
that increases the levels of male hormones.
It is estimated that 20 to 30% of women have polycystic ovaries, although only 5 to 10%
of them manifest the issue.
Chapped lips Did you know that your lips can tell a lot
about your health?
Dry lips might be a reaction to a medication, an occupational risk, for metal singers, for
example, or a symptom of allergy, infections, or other conditions.
Cracks in the corners of the mouth can be a sign of Sjögren, a disorder of the immune
system.
It causes dry eyes and mouth, joint pains, and dry skin.
It happens mostly in women, and up to 4 million Americans might have this syndrome.
Itching ears Constant itching in the ears might be a symptom
of eczema, psoriasis, or allergies.
These skin issues suggest that your vitamin D levels are low.
Doctors recommend daily sunbaths of at least 10 minutes.
If you don't have much sunlight where you live, you can supplement vitamin D with capsules
or injections.
Dirty mouth Dirty teeth and gums aren't only a sign of
poor oral hygiene.
Your mouth can tell unpleasant things about your heart and bones.
In 2010, Scottish researchers reported that brushing your teeth reduces the risks of heart
diseases.
People who didn't brush their teeth frequently have 70% more chance of developing or dying
from heart disease.
Tooth loss might indicate osteoporosis.
