Pale Skin

PALE SKIN
It is the blood flowing under your skin that you made the rosy cheeks that makes you look good. Slow down its speed: the color loses its luster and gives the skin a pale complexion.

An intense emotional or physical stress can affect blood circulation in the skin. When you experience an emotional shock, serious injury or infection, or are exposed to very cold temperatures, your body reacts by constricting its blood vessels in the skin and replenishing blood to the center of the body where it increases body heat and provides the vital organs of oxygen and nutrients they need.

In the case of stress caused by heat exhaustion when the body reaches a degree of excessive heat, blood is also diverted to the center temperature regulator. At this point, you look pale, sweaty and you feel weak.

Other diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle can also cause pale skin. People are usually sedentary dyed pink as less active people because their heart pushes less blood. The frequent exercises can also increase red blood count, and thus bring more oxygen to the skin.

Pallor, accompanied by fatigue and shortness of breath may also signal a deficiency anemia. Iron promotes the production of erythrocytes or red blood cells, which give blood its rich color and allow it to carry oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency and  anemia are usually caused by blood loss or persistent during menstruation, or in cases of ulcer, gastritis, hemorrhoids, abuse of aspirin and, occasionally, intestinal tumors.

In addition, iron levels below the average may be the result of some states: pregnancy, nursing a child or the willful deprivation of iron-rich foods, such as red meat. The pallor is also a symptom of other common forms of anemia accompanying blood disorders and chronic diseases. Some of these are hereditary anemias.

Finally, the pallor is one of the signs of a heart attack. Consider the discomfort as a medical emergency if you start sweating suddenly, your heart rate accelerates, you’re tired and you’re very pale.

TREATMENT
Here’s how you can improve your pallor:

  • Take the test serum ferritin. A regular blood test that measures ferritin, that is to say the body of the protein that stores iron, can tell you exactly the level of iron in your body. This is the best way to discover an iron deficiency before it progresses to the point of anemia active. Your doctor may prescribe a diet and supplements to help you boost your iron levels if tests show that the ferritin content is very low.
  • Exercise. Walking, bicycling, or any activity in which you move your arms and legs enhance the production of red blood cells, as well as improving blood circulation. Exercises done regularly can help you find your rosy complexion in just weeks. Hydrate yourself with acidifying agents.
  • If you feel dull after infection, forget the blush. Get lotions rather counter-based fatty acids made from hidroxyles acidulants. The ingredient that produces a small ignition off old cells and allows the new to grow. You’ll look like going in the sun without having to suffer the side effects.
  • Put your head between your knees. If, for no reason, you become pale, you turn to sweat and feel dizzy because of excessive heat; lower your head towards the knees so that it is below the level of the heart. Gravity allows blood to flow to the brain and give you a little more color. Then drink fresh liquids, remove excess clothing and place you in the shade.
