What Does Your Eye Colour Say About You?

-

They say that your eyes are the window to your soul, but
new research has found that the colour of your eyes might
actually be the window to your health. So how is that
possible?

A number of studies have found that the colour of our eyes
affect how we feel pain, how well we can hold our drink and
even our skill level when it comes to sport and hobbies.
Carried out at Pittsburgh University, the study found that
women with lighter coloured eyes experienced less pain
during childbirth compared to those with darker eyes, while
the women with lighter eyes were also able to tolerate more
alcohol. But don't run to buy contact lenses, these differences boil down to one thing: your genes. A senior lecturer in biomolecular sciences at Liverpool John Moores University has explained that eye colour is based on 12 to 13 individual variations in genes, and these genes also
affect other parts of the body.

Take melanin, for example. This chemical not only makes
eyes darker but also makes people more susceptible to
alcohol. Not to worry though, according to scientists people
with darker eyes also have increased reaction time, so
they're generally better at fast-moving sports. And people with lighter eyes? Well the University of Louisville found that the slower reaction times in lighter eyed people helped with activities that require more planning, so although you have no excuse next time you study, you also have a wonderful reason to get down the golf club when you're in
need of some physical activity!

NOW YOU KNOW.
