Potential Health Issues Get Revealed Through These 10 Physical Changes

 health


Many health problems have the disconcerting habit of creeping into your life. They may begin as just a speck on the skin that you ignore until they turn into a major health issue. Doctors have always said that the earlier you tackle your health problems, the better are the chances of curing them. It can even mean the difference between life and death.


There are several symptoms which you should be acquainted with as they portend serious health issues.

1.Your Scalloped Tongue

This is a condition where the tongue gets crusted at the edges as it gets larger than your lower jaw. It could be caused by trauma to the jaw or swelling due to dehydration. But if there are other symptoms including cramps, aches, hair loss, bruising and low BP, it could indicate thyroid problems.

2. Discolored Nails

Nails are a true indicator of your health. People may have different nail thickness but if there are changes from the normal color or texture, or any bleeding at the edges, consult the doctor. The presence of dark and vertical lines may even indicate melanoma. If there are no other explanations, consult a specialist.

3. Thickening Or Darkening Of Your Skin

Yellow or brown patches at the folds of our skin require attention. They may be slightly swollen and velvety indicating insulin resistance and be an early indicator of Type 2 diabetes.

4. Pimples On Your Chin Or Jaw Line

Tiny glands under your skin generate natural oils that maintain your skin health. When, for unknown reasons, these glands start producing excess oil, they are clogged. Pimples that erupt along the jaw-line among women indicate a hormonal imbalance. Excess production of testosterone stimulates the oil glands and cause a pimple outbreak.

5. Diminishing Eyebrow

Hair loss is a part of the aging process, though thinning eyebrows could indicate thyroid problems. The malfunctioning of the thyroid gland causes the production of too little or too much of any hormone and the eyebrows are affected by any one of the reasons. Roots of hair don’t get replaced due to the imbalance.

What Is Cortisol And Do You Have It?

  We all hear that stress is bad and that one must never wear it as a badge of pride. But most of the time when things get calm and mundane, we actively seek the next shot of cortisol to keep moving. Is it because the illusion of being stressed makes one feel productive? So much so that one tends to forget about the harm that their body faces? There are various studies done as talked about in books like  ‘Mind Over Medicine’  wherein it proves that one is equipped to repair their body and soul equally on their own.  But do you think these mechanisms can work all day long and automatically? In fact, the only time they can work properly is when the nervous system is relaxed and calm. When your body senses some immediate fear or nervousness or pressure, these in-borne self repairing systems seize to work.  Let us thus talk about some basic features of this self-inducing stress addiction, also known as Cortisol. 1. Frequent Headaches Or Backaches When the cortisol l...
