Is there a relationship between facial shape
and/or color and how we perceive health? Yes I discuss in my book facial
symmetry. Researchers have also found correlations between symmetry and health,
which lends itself to the theory that in looking for a mate, humans and other
animals look for those who will be most healthy and free of disease. One study
found that men with asymmetric faces tend to suffer more from depression,
anxiety, headaches and even stomach problems. Women with facial asymmetry are
less healthy and more prone to emotional instability and depression. Another
study found that the more asymmetric a person's body was, the more likely they
were to show signs of aggression when provoked.

symmetry or attractiveness type in the keyword in the blog search.
