The color of your eyes says a lot about your personality and your health
Several investigations indicate that, although it may seem a trivial characteristic, the color of the eyes is a good indicator of our health and personality traits.
The ability of the color of the eyes to predict some aspects of our personality or health lies in the multiple variations of the genes involved in the chromatic range that finds its phenotype in the color of the iris, according to published Medical Daily . These genes have a decisive influence on our body, and are also expressed in different aspects related to health.
But let's look carefully: What aspects can the color of the eyes reveal about oneself?
What does the color of the eyes tell us about our health?
In 2008, an investigation discovered that People with blue eyes are genetically related to the same ancestor in common. He was an individual who suffered a strange genetic mutation and lived between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. Before this eventuality, humans only had one color in their eyes: the color Brown .
1. Pain management
Several researchers have suggested that eye color may reveal some information about pain tolerance. A recent study also put on the table whate women with green or blue eyes ("light" shades) showed less pain during labor compared to other dark-eyed women.
In addition to this greater resistance to physical pain, statistics indicate that people with light eyes also suffer less disorders such as anxiety or depression. The cause of these differences is, today, an unknown.
2. Consumption of alcohol
Some research has shown evidence about the differences between people drinking alcohol according to the color of their eyes. Scientists have revealed that light-eyed individuals are more likely to abuse alcoholic beverages compared to people with dark eyes , since, apparently, they are able to tolerate greater amounts of alcohol.
3. Personality according to the color of the eyes
An investigation carried out in Australia showed through correlation analysis that people with light eyes are usually less "pleasant" and have a greater dose of competitiveness compared to people with dark eyes . Showing oneself pleasant is a behavior that is typically linked to traits such as empathy, generosity, kindness or compassion.
4. Trust
Another study on the psychosocial implications of eye color established that People with brown eyes are perceived as more trustworthy . This difference was significantly noticeable with respect to people with blue eyes. However, the study also suggested that the variable "face shape" also exerted a great influence when it came to giving confidence to another person. In this sense, we recommend reading the article "Morphopsychology: the shape of your face indicates your personality".
However, a good synthesis of the research would be to conclude that, although the faces with brown eyes are perceived as worthy of greater confidence than the blue eyes, it is not the brown color alone that causes such perception, but the facial features associated with brown eyes.
5. Health and disease
Some research has linked the specific colors of the ocular iris to certain diseases such as diabetes, vitiligo or melanoma. According to the studies, People with blue eyes are less likely to suffer from vitiligo , a pathology of the skin that causes the progressive loss of the pigment of certain regions of the skin, and leaves "white spots" in some parts of the body.
Also, heterochromia (a condition whose perceptible feature is that a person has each eye of a different color) can be an indicator of certain disorders such as Hormer's syndrome , heterochromic iridocyclitis of Fuch or pigmentary glaucoma. It has also been reported that people who suffer from diabetes in later stages notice how their eyes progressively darken.
People with light eyes have a greater sensitivity to UV rays (solar rays), because they have less pigment with which to protect them. Consequently, if you have clear eyes you should take even more care of the sun's rays, because you have a greater risk of contracting melanoma of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye, so it is best to protect yourself whenever you can with adequate sunglasses.
