You can identify signs on your face to determine if your blood sugar levels are within a safe range.
Dr. Eric Berg, a 57-year-old chiropractor specializing in spinal therapy and the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals, has dedicated himself to spreading health knowledge to millions through various media platforms. With over 12 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, Dr. Eric Berg DC, he not only shares the benefits of Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting but also provides deeper insights into health through external signs on the body, especially the face.
Today, let’s explore with Dr. Berg the secrets your face can reveal about your internal health status.
-
Facial Shape
If someone has a round face, it might be due to excessive consumption of insulin and carbohydrates. In the past, I also retained a lot of water because each gram of glucose stored as glycogen holds an additional three grams of water.
-
Areas Around the Eyes
Under-eye bags can be a sign that the kidneys are overworked due to excessive water retention.
-
Eyes
Red eyes can indicate liver problems. While this can also be caused by lack of sleep or deficiencies in vitamins B2 and B3, the primary cause is usually the liver.
-
Under the Chin
Fat under the chin may result from the body accumulating fat. This not only affects appearance but can also lead to issues like sleep apnea.
-
Skin Texture
Oily skin can be due to a zinc deficiency or high androgen levels caused by increased insulin.
-
Dry and Flaky Skin
Dry, flaky skin can be a sign of liver problems or excessive consumption of omega-6 fatty acids. Cod liver oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, can help improve dry, flaky, and oily skin.
-
Acne
Acne can originate from high androgen levels, which are related to excessive insulin. Supplementing with zinc and changing your diet (following the Healthy Keto approach) can help reduce acne.
