You wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and think “Where the heck did that pimple come from?" or "Why are my eyes so puffy?” You probably never thought that what you put in your body could end up on your face – well it can! In fact, your face provides some of the best indicators of what’s happening with your health. Your face can be divided into three sections, each correlating to a different system in your body.
Upper Region
Your forehead and eyebrow region correlates to your nervous system. Eating foods like candy, sugar, tropical fruits and alcohol can show up as redness, pimples and a rash in this area. If you see heavy vertical wrinkles above your nose and between your eyes this could indicate a problem with your liver. Watch your salt, animal fat and alcohol intake. While heavy horizontal wrinkles on your forehead could indicate a problem with circulation. You should watch your consumption of excess liquids, especially drinks with chemicals or alcohol. Eating more whole grains, green/root vegetables, drinking enough water, avoiding processed foods and decreasing caffeine are recommended.

Lower Region
Your mouth and chin region correlates to the digestive system. The chin is related to the functioning of the kidneys, gall bladder and reproductive organs. If there are pimples or blemishes in the chin region, this indicates an accumulation of fat and hormonal imbalance in the reproductive organs. Eating foods that contain excessive salt, animal fats, beef and processed lunch meats can contribute to pimples in this area.
Middle Region
Your cheeks and jowls correlate to your circulatory system. The organs that dominate this region are the heart and the lungs. Kidneys, stomach and liver reflect in areas around the eyes.
If the lungs are healthy, this reflects in healthy, clear, rosy cheeks. Shallow skin in this area indicates lung’s congestion or poor oxygen levels. In order to improve the skin in this area, according to face reading experts, you can: Stop smoking, reduce or eliminate greasy and fatty foods, and eliminate trans fats or hydrogenated oils. Eating more green leafy vegetables, especially cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower can help. Try to exercise or walk daily to eliminate toxins from your body.

The eye bags are related to the kidneys. Swelling or deep circles occur when the kidneys are weak or overtaxed. Smokers, heavy dairy eaters, people going through hormonal changes are prone to breakouts or puffiness in this region. To improve the kidney function, it is recommended to reduce or eliminate alcohol, coffee and sodas, and drink more water.
The nose is associated with the heart. If the bulb of the nose is red and swollen, this indicates the heart is overworked and there may be a genetic predisposition to a heart condition. To have a healthy heart, eat less saturated fats found in dairy and meats, eliminate trans fats (often found in fast food and processed foods) and eat more vegetables and whole grains. Exercise daily and reduce stress.

Whenever I get a pimple on a certain part of my face, it always relates to the “right” wrong food. Too many glasses of wine and you’ll see the puffy eyes for sure – top it off with a piece of cheese and yup that’s a pimple on my cheek! Now you too can try and figure out what your face is trying to tell you. And don’t get too obsessed with puffiness here and there – it doesn’t necessarily mean you have a heart condition, but simply that a particular organ may not be as strong or that you have a genetic predisposition to a sensitivity in that organ.
What in interesting post. Now that I think about it, I have definitely seen these correlations between my face, the foods I eat and my organs. Thanks for this information!
