Handleiding

On about 1/6 of a square

inch (one square centimeter)

of human skin, you will ﬁnd:

• 200 pain receptors

• 100 pressure receptors

• 12 cold receptors

• 2 heat receptors

• 100 sweat glands

• 40 fat glands

Our

skin reveals

a lot about our inner

self. For example, the

color of our cheeks

can indicate our

mood.

Your Telltale Skin

The skin is a real taletale. It just cannot keep a secret. Every emotional

condition shows up clearly. You may blush when you feel embarrassed, or get

red spots from excitement. You may become pale from a scare, and if you are

afraid or something is distressing to you, you may have cold sweats.

Also, stress, poor health, or illness leave their revealing traces on the skin. Your

doctor can recognize a number of illnesses from the skin’s appearance. When

the liver or digestive system is not working correctly, a yellowing of the skin

may result. An iron shortage makes the skin pale and gray. Chill or vascular

disturbances may leave the skin slightly blue.

If, however, you are healthy, your

skin will show oﬀ its best side,

and you will feel visibly well in it.

FAT AND WATER STORAGE

The third skin layer (layer C in the

diagram on page ), stores fat and water,

and, due to its high content of fat cells,

is known as subcutaneous fat tissue.

It protects against cold, and acts as a

buffer against pressure, impacts, and

tears from the outside. Together with

the dermis, the subcutaneous fat tissue

is where the largest amount of water is

stored in the human body: Depending on

body fat content, up to % of the entire

water content of the human body is in

the skin.

The number of fat cells in the loose

connective tissue is determined in

early childhood. Anyone who eats

too much as a baby will form more

fat cells than are really needed.

These fat cells will wait an entire

lifetime to satisfy themselves

completely.

Here’s a more reassuring fact: Having

a good amount of fat content in the

subcutaneous tissue lets the skin look

tighter, and thus younger!
