Get up early and look in the mirror to check your health in five places

Certain physical discomforts or precursors of illness may leave clues on our face. Therefore, looking in the mirror first after getting up in the morning is a healthy habit. Carefully looking at the following places can help us discover some hidden health information.

Look at the forehead

If you find that there are more wrinkles on your forehead after waking up in the morning for several consecutive days, you should pay attention, as you may have been staying up late and drinking at social events recently. Because increased forehead wrinkles may indicate that the liver is overloaded. It is recommended to quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption immediately, eat less animal fat, and drink more water.

Look at the eyes

If you wake up with dark circles under your eyes and dull eyes, it means that your kidneys may be overloaded, which may be caused by eating too much salty or sweet food, or staying up late at night to drink tea, coffee, etc.; if one side of the eyelid droops, and it may be accompanied by slurred speech and arm weakness, you should be alert to a stroke; if your eyes are bloodshot, after excluding the bloodshot caused by staying up late, you should consider iritis or subconjunctival hemorrhage; if the eyelids are pale, it may be a sign of anemia, especially pale lower eyelids, accompanied by dizziness, irritability, which may mean iron deficiency anemia. You need to eat more red meat, beans, nuts and dark green leafy vegetables.

Look at the nose

If you wake up and find that the tip of your nose is red, it may be caused by eating too much sugar recently. You may try to replace chocolate and candy with nuts, fruits or yogurt. If the whole nose is red, it may be that your heart is overloaded or you smoke too much. You should relax and rest immediately, quit smoking, and eat less fatty foods.

Look at the lips

If cracks appear at the corners of your mouth when you wake up in the morning, you should be alert to iron deficiency anemia. But as the anemia disappears, the cracks will slowly recover.

Look at the swelling. If you wake up in the morning and find your face is swollen, it may be that you have been exercising less recently, resulting in poor blood circulation in your body, and the inability to excrete excess water in time. In addition, if edema occurs, you should also be alert to diseases such as hypothyroidism and mumps.
