Our body tells us everything that’s happening to it. If we’re healthy, it shows.
On the other hand, when we have health problems, our body sends us signals so we can be alert.
We will list 8 signs that our body shows so that we pay attention.
1. The skin turns yellowish
Skin that begins to yellow can indicate liver problems and is caused by jaundice. Due to high levels of bilirubin, our body cannot eliminate it. This is why the skin and whites of the eyes take on a yellowish hue.
2. White spots on the nails
If you’ve ever had white spots on your nails, it could be due to an injury. However, if not, it could indicate a zinc, calcium, or protein deficiency.
3. Chapped lips
Cracks or blisters may appear due to dehydration. On the other hand, you could be using the wrong lipstick.
4. Drumstick-shaped nails
Clubbed nails are a typical sign of chronic lung problems, but they can also indicate gastrointestinal conditions. If left untreated, the nails can become enlarged and curl downward.
5. Mouth ulcers
Mouth sores can appear due to hormonal changes or emotional stress. Take vitamin B-12 if you are deficient, as a deficiency can also cause mouth sores.
6. White pimples on the eyelid
White bumps on the eyelids are called styes. They sometimes appear near the eyelashes if you have diabetes or dehydrated skin.
7. Ring around the cornea
The gray or white ring surrounding the cornea is called arcus senilis, or fatty deposit. Although older people often experience it due to their age, its presence in the eyes can indicate high cholesterol levels.
8. A very bright red tongue.
A bright red tongue may indicate an infection or a vitamin deficiency. Oral herpes can also cause the tongue to appear bright red.
