Our bodies constantly communicate our health status through various signs. Here are eight important cues to pay attention to:
- Yellow Skin: Jaundice can turn your skin and eyes yellow due to liver issues. It’s a sign of excess bilirubin in your system.
- White Dots on Nails: White specks on your nails may indicate deficiencies in protein, calcium, or zinc.
- Blisters and Cracks: Dehydration or using the wrong lipstick can lead to lip issues. Also, watch out for clubbed fingernails, possibly linked to digestive or lung problems.
- Mouth Sores: Internal mouth ulcers can result from stress, hormonal changes, or vitamin B-12 deficiency.
- White Eyelid Pimples (Styes): Dry skin or diabetes can cause styes near your eyelashes.
- Cornea Ring (Arcus Senilis): A grey or white ring around your cornea may signal high cholesterol levels, especially if you’re not elderly.
- Red Tongue: Infections, vitamin deficiencies, or oral herpes can make your tongue excessively red.
