A study published in the National Library of Medicine shows that the color and texture of lips are deeply connected to heart and respiratory health. Apart from this, our lips also indicate overall health.

Blue or white lips

Very white or blue lips indicate a lack of oxygen in the blood. This can be a sign of anemia, breathing problems or problems with blood circulation.

Dry lips

Our lips often become dry during the winter season. But if there is a persistent dryness problem, it can also be due to lack of water,  vitamin  deficiency, especially vitamin B, or malnutrition. According to the NIH, lips show dehydration and lack of nutrition the fastest.

Swollen lips

Swelling of the lips can be caused by allergies, infections, or inflammatory diseases. Sudden or repeated swelling may be a sign of a serious condition such as allergies or angioedema.

blisters or sores

Blisters or sores on the lips are often caused by a viral infection. Recurrent blisters can be a result of a weakened immune system or stress.

cracks on the edges of the lips

Cracks on the edges of the lips (angular cheilitis) may be associated with iron or vitamin B deficiency or fungal infection. This can be prevented with a healthy diet and lip hygiene.

Changing lip color

Dark spots or discoloration of lips  can be a result of hormonal  imbalance, vitamin deficiency or the effect of medications. Sometimes these are also early signs of problems going on inside the body.
