What Your Lips Color Says About Your Health

What Your Lips Color Says About Your Health

By   décembre 11, 2018

The first sign of any disease is mostly seen on the lips and so it is rightly called the window to your health by traditional Chinese medicine experts.

If the color of our lips changes, it is our body’s way of telling us that something is wrong.

The position of our body, its internal organs, temperature, and blood can be understood just by the color of our lips. Let us find out what different color of lips denotes:

1. Pale or white lips

Pale or white lips are a clear sign of being anemic. This means that your body lacks red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the main part of the red blood cells and binds oxygen. Therefore, if your body lacks this, then your lips are bound to turn pale. Eating iron-rich foods like spinach, dried fruits and bread are a good start to increase your hemoglobin.

2. Red Lips

Red lips mean your body is overheated. At a time like this, you will see the additional signs of bad breath and craving for snacks. According to experts, this means that you have a dysfunctional liver, which ends up releasing heat in the body. Other than this, red lips also signify the presence of an allergy from any kind of food or liquid, causing your lips to swell.

3. Purple or blue lips

A normal phenomenon during winters, purple or blue lips should not be ignored if it persists for a long time. This is because this may mean that you have a heart and respiratory issue. This also means that blood circulation in the body is improper. If there is a hint of a green line around your lips, it signifies poor blood circulation around liver and spleen.

4. Dark red to blue lips

Dark red to blue lips signify that you need to detoxify your body immediately with healthy foods and liquids. This simply means that your digestive system is stressed due to toxification and your body needs to get rid of these disturbing agents. Sticking to an alkaline diet will help.

5. Purple line around lips

According to Chinese medicine, a purple or greenish line around your lips imply the presence of imbalance of energy in your body. This means that negative energy is overpowering your body. Consuming foods which are neutral in nature, mild in terms of use of spices, will help you get rid of this.

6.  Rosy pink

Rosy pink lips indicate a healthy body with a balanced mind. This means that you are doing everything right to keep your body fit and the diet and fitness regime you are following suits your body well.

By   décembre 05, 2018

Nyakim Gatwech is a 24-year-old woman of color who embraces the skin she is in. The South Sudanese model who currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota is known as the “Queen Of The Dark.” Nyakim recently shared the story of a racist encounter with an Uber driver that could’ve very well brought her down.

Instagram

Gatwech shared the story via an Instagram post. Upon entering an Uber in 2016, the driver made an insulting suggestion, asking her if she would bleach her dark skin for $10,000, and implying that her dark complexion was nothing to love. Instead of stooping to his level, she instead broke out into laughter and has been especially proud of the skin she is in ever since.

Out of curiosity, she asked the driver why he would suggest such a thing. He said life would be easier for her, it would be easier for her to be in a relationship, and that she would get more job opportunities if she was lighter. She admitted that even so, she would “rather take the hard road”, which is a reflection of how strong she is.

The fashion icon turned a negative into a positive and has been trending upwards ever since. She admits that she still receives discouraging comments, but she remains an advocate for self-love and is a strong voice for black rights worldwide.

Meet “Melanie Gaydos” 28-Year-Old Model With A Rare Genetic Disorder Who Broke All Fashion Stereotypes

Meet “Melanie Gaydos” 28-Year-Old Model With A Rare Genetic Disorder Who Broke All Fashion Stereotypes

By   décembre 05, 2018

We live in a world that is incredibly diverse. Different cultures and languages are what makes society so unique and exciting. It’s especially exciting and refreshing when the fashion industry reflects this same reality. The Huffington Post is reporting that Seattle-based model Melanie Gaydos is hoping to contribute to this effort. If you are not familiar with Melanie Gaydos, she is a 28-year-old fashion model who was born with ectodermal dysplasia.

Ectodermal dysplasia affects the outer layer of tissue of the embryo that is responsible for making up the skin, hair, teeth, sweat glands and nails. According to the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias, fewer than 200,000 people in the United States will experience this extremely rare condition. The Independent also reports that Melanie also has alopecia and is partially blind due to eyelash growth that scratched her eyes as a child.

Melanie’s version of the condition meant that she was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. It also affected the growth of her pores, nails, hair, and teeth. The Huffington Postmentions that Melanie had almost 40 surgeries when she was a child just to correct her eyes, mouth, and ears. For many, this would be very tough to deal with, but for Melanie, she explains that she found a way to cope with it: “I definitely found a way of coping with [ectodermal dysplasia] just in how I perceive and accept my body, how it looks and how it functions.”

Although Melanie found ways to deal with her condition, the Independent explains that Melanie says that she has been treated as if she was contagious or seriously ill. She mentions that at age 26, she had three dental implants and received her first set of dentures after she appeared on the reality television show The Doctors. Eight months later she removed them and never wore them again. According to the Independent, she said: “I also found I was more comfortable with myself how I am, without any enhancements. Maybe other people think I am incomplete, but that is only because they have teeth or know what that is like and cannot understand or picture what it’s like without any. I don’t miss having teeth because I never really had them to begin with.”

For more information about the condition, the Huffington Post spoke to Dr. Latanya Benjamin, medical director of pediatric dermatology at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Dr. Benjamin explains that this condition can cause those who have it to overheat in hot temperatures, so extra water, air, and shade is critical. Melanie mentions that when she was a kid, she never felt like she drank enough water. But now as an adult, she is able to manage different climates.

In regards to her modeling career, Melanie explains to the Huffington Post that modeling was never a career path she ever considered because of her condition. But she mentions that while she was studying at the Pratt Institute in New York, she experimented with being the main subject in a photograph. From there, she emailed a photographer who she followed and admired and he invited her to take some photos with him.

Since her change in career paths, Melanie says that her goal is to break into high-fashion modeling. If you are interested in her photos, she has just finished a shoot for i-D magazine’s summer issue. Melanie told the Independent that although she is fighting for change, she also warned people that although the fashion industry is becoming more inclusive, it is still a slow process. She also adds: “There are simply not enough ‘different’ people fighting to be in whatever spot or position.”
