The Upside of Vanity - 6 Things Your Mirror is Trying to Tell You

Make friends with your mirror. It has great information to share.

If anyone told you that looking in the mirror makes you vain, give them some side-eye and let them know that what you see in the mirror is simply reflection of your health ... and by paying attention, you can make simple changes to improve your chances of living a long, healthy life.

Our bodies are simply made of billions of cells which have jobs to do. When they are not doing their job the way they were designed, we will often see outward signs long before we notice inner problems. This is because the human body is amazingly intelligent, and prioritizes our internal health over our external looks (skin, hair, nails).

This is good. It means, your body is working to keep you living long enough to make lifestyle changes that can improve your health before it's too late.

So, when you see things you don't like in the mirror: skin issues, hair issues, nail issues, it's time to examine whether or not you are giving your body enough of the 90+ micro nutrients it requires every day to nourish every cell in your body.

So, the upside of vanity? By noticing whether our skin is glowing ... or not ... our hair is shiny and bouncy ... or not ... and our nails are growing fast and strong ... we are noticing that we aren't taking care of our bodies as well as we should.
