Our bodies are like messengers, constantly telling us about what’s happening inside. They give us signs about our health, especially when something is wrong. Here are eight important signals your body might be sending you.
Yellow Skin
If your skin turns yellow, it could be a sign of liver problems. This yellowing, called jaundice, happens when your body can’t get rid of bilirubin properly. This causes both your skin and the whites of your eyes to turn yellow.
White Dots on Nails
Ever notice white specks on your nails? It could be from accidentally bumping them, but if not, it might mean you’re lacking protein, calcium, or zinc.
Sores on the Lips
Dehydration can cause blisters or cracks on your lips. But sometimes, using the wrong lipstick can also be the culprit.
Clubbed Fingernails
If your fingernails are growing and bending downward, it might indicate chronic lung disease or digestive issues. This condition needs medical attention.
Mouth Ulcers
Stress or hormonal changes can cause sores inside your mouth. A lack of vitamin B-12 can also lead to these painful ulcers.
White Pimples on Eyelids
Those little white bumps on your eyelids are called styes. They often appear if you have dry skin or diabetes.
Ring Around the Cornea
A grey or white ring around your cornea, known as arcus senilis, usually appears as people age. However, if you’re younger and notice this, it might mean your cholesterol levels are too high.
Bright Red Tongue
An unusually red tongue could be a sign of an infection or a vitamin deficiency. Oral herpes can also cause this change in color.
Varicose Veins
A 38-year-old woman suffered from pain, heaviness, and swelling in her legs by the end of the day, even though she wore compression hose. She had a treatment called Closurefast RFA on her great saphenous veins along with two sessions of branch vein sclerotherapy. After the treatment, her symptoms quickly improved, and the veins gradually disappeared over a few months.
