Why cheeks burn

Our life is full of signs and warnings, which people, as a rule, either do not notice, do not attach importance to them, or simply do not know how to decipher this or that sign. And there can be a lot of such signs. Each of us not once noticed that his cheeks burn. And it can start absolutely unexpectedly. And the question always arises: why does this happen? Someone says that a person in this The moment is remembered, someone sees this as a sign of the evil intentions of others, and someone prefers to explain it with colds and banal physiological causes. Let's consider from different points of view what that means.

There are many opinions about what cheeks burn to. Signs on this score are very different, beginning from the fact that someone curses you, ending with a banal suspicion of a cold. However, if the cheeks burn, the vast majority of people will say that you are being discussed behind your back. In a good or bad key, you can determine the usual ring, preferably silver. If the cheeks burn, this ring should be drawn along the cheek and look at the color of the strip that remains. If you are discussed by well-wishers or if you are praised, the band from the ring will be white and very quickly disappear. If they gossip about you, the ring will leave a black mark. There are also a number of signs that are associated with the days of the week. For example, if cheeks are burning on Monday, according to popular beliefs, this promises an acquaintance, if

Tuesday is a quarrel and so on. If the blush suddenly appeared on Wednesday, it is believed that this is for a date, and if on the weekend, on Saturday or Sunday - then to a meeting and to a fun, respectively.

But, apart from the esoteric explanation of why cheeks burn, there is also a scientific theory. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the human nervous system. The body has sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which together constitute the autonomic nervous system. It affects the behavior of a person, his mood, etc. Blood vessels expand if parasympathetic nervous

system. Hence the emerging blush. The sympathetic nervous system, on the contrary, controls the narrowing of blood vessels, which makes a person pale. Conditionally by the type of the dominant system, people are divided into two types - parasympathetic, and, accordingly, sympathy. The first type of people quickly blushes, they are usually very shy, open to the world, while people of the second type are more restrained, in an emergency they pale. According to legend, Alexander of Macedon chose warriors for personal protection so: putting them in a line, he began to shout at them, even threaten them with torture, closely following the reaction of the soldiers. Those who blushed, selected for personal protection. This strategy of "selection of personnel" is easy to explain. At that time it was believed that if a person becomes red in emergencies, then the action will be more determined because of the influx of blood to the head. In addition, cheeks burn most often in people who have blood vessels close to the skin, as well as those who are prone to allergic reactions. Sudden redness of the cheeks can also provoke a cold wind.

Which of the opinions to adhere to, everyone decides for himself. But do not forget that in the case of two variants, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
