The human body is amazingly interconnected and most of us don’t realize it, or just take it for granted. Your body may be telling you that there is a problem and you wouldn’t know it until it’s too late. Doctors are there but sometimes doing your own research could save you precious money before ending up in a hospital.
Your body always gives clues regarding your health. Read on and watch out for any of these symptoms. It’s a good idea to do a quick health check every so often.
1. Don’t ignore a bright red tongue
This is the one time you have permission to stick your tongue out. If it is
a bit more vibrant than normal, specifically beefy-red in color, it could mean you have iron or B12 vitamin deficiencies. A color change means you should be concerned.
Disgusting to most, but
sweat can indicate if there is something wrong in the body. An acetone-like smell probably means they’re suffering from low blood sugar. And if sweat smells a bit like ammonia, see a doctor since that could indicate an early sign of liver or kidney problems.
3. Beware of wide-faced men
Faces apparently say a lot. Like men with wide face. A study from Nipissing University found that guys with a wider face tend to be more prone to cheating. These men have have a higher sex drive meaning they will look around and all that.
4. Long fingers make for more testosterone
So that guy with ring fingers longer than his pointer fingers may have higher levels of testosterone in utero, which has
surprising impacts on their health. Scientists say these men’s brains and bodies are different, and not always for the better.
Men with longer ring fingers are usually more aggressive than those with shorter ones. Such men are also more prone to developing autism, have less verbal communication abilities, and are likely to develop ADHD.
Who knew that the
ear could indicate kidney health? A study showed that flat or crumpled looking ears relate to kidneys
failing to develop in babies. Scientists also found that the ears and kidneys develop around the same time in the womb.
Outward deformities in the ear can indicate other kidney problems. Ear pits can indicate a number of kidney disorders and urinary tract issues.
6. Longer toes cause problems
A condition called
Morton’s Toe has the second toe longer than the big toe. It’s a phenomenon hat can cause problems for people living with it. When the second toe is longer, balance and weight distribution is thrown off. Calluses under the toe are likely to form, so walking becomes more painful.
But this condition just requires wearing proper footwear or using a shoe insert to re-balance the foot.
7. Long limbs are better for the brain
One study says that individuals with longs arms and legs are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia as they age. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University found that long-legged women were 16% less likely to get dementia. Then they found that women with short arms have a risk 50% higher compared to those with long arms.
It’s different for the men as those with longer arms are 6% less likely to get a brain disorder. Scientists are yet to pinpoint their reasons but nutrition could have something to do with the findings.
8. The problem with frequent urination
Type 2 diabetes is caused by the body struggling to utilize insulin.
The disease causes frequent urination since it makes people feel thirstier than normal. Water is diverted from the less useful parts of the body to thin the blood and help process glucose. The frequent drinking of water leads to more urination.
9. The gums and heart connection
Gum disease causes inflammation. The gums can recede, with periodontal disease now found to be
linked to more than bad breath. It can cause an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. The condition is also linked to a lower birth weight for pregnant woman. Take good care of your oral health.
Arthritis causes joint pains for millions of people. Watch out for stiff joints which could be an early sign of the condition.
Nail pitting can be a symptom that someone is suffering from the painful disorder. Look for finger nails with small depressions in them as that could show if a person has psoriasis.
11. Losing hair means seeing a cardiologist
Men going
bald may indicate heart disease, and high cholesterol levels. These men are at higher risk for heart disease. A study also showed that men with a full head of hair and similar cholesterol levels were less likely to have heart disease. So men losing hair may need to schedule a visit with a doctor.
12. Swollen feet may mean a heart problem
A person suffering from swollen feet and legs could potentially be experiencing congestive heart failure. Heart failure obstructs blood flow, most especially in the extremities so take a good look at your feet. Go see a doctor as this condition also affects the liver and digestive system.
