8 Body Signs You Should Pay Attention To
Our bodies communicate with us constantly, signaling when something is right or wrong. While good health is often reflected in how we feel and look, health issues also manifest through specific signs. Here are 8 body signals you should be aware of:
- Yellowing of the Skin Skin turning yellowish may be a sign of liver problems, often caused by jaundice. This happens when the body can’t eliminate bilirubin, leading to yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes.
- White Dots on the Nails While white dots on your nails can sometimes result from an injury, persistent spots could indicate a deficiency in zinc, calcium, or protein.
- Cracked Lips Cracked or blistered lips are often a sign of dehydration. Alternatively, using the wrong type of lipstick may also be the cause.
- Clubbing of the Fingernails Clubbing refers to fingernails that become enlarged and curve downward. It can be a symptom of chronic lung problems or gastrointestinal issues and should be addressed promptly.
- Canker Sores Canker sores in the mouth can appear due to hormonal changes or emotional stress. A deficiency in vitamin B-12 may also be the cause. Taking a vitamin supplement might help alleviate these sores.
- White Bumps on the Eyelid These bumps, called styes, can appear near the eyelashes and may be related to diabetes or dehydration.
- Ring Around the Cornea A grey or white ring around the cornea is called arcus senilis. While it’s common among older adults, this ring can also indicate high cholesterol levels.
- A Bright Red-Colored Tongue A bright red tongue could signal an infection, vitamin deficiency, or even oral herpes. It’s important to pay attention to changes in the color of your tongue, as they can be indicative of underlying health conditions.
