Our bodies are always communicating signs about our health. A yellowish tone in the skin or eyes could be a sign of jaundice, which happens when the liver struggles to remove bilirubin from the body.
Tiny white spots on your nails might look harmless, but they can suggest a lack of zinc, calcium, or protein. Lips that are thin and blistered may be a warning of dehydration or even a reaction to cosmetics like lipstick. Nails that are rounded or curve downward could be linked to chronic lung or digestive conditions if left untreated.
Mouth ulcers can result from stress, hormonal changes, or a vitamin B12 deficiency. Small white bumps around the eyelashes, called styes, might be caused by dry skin or may even be associated with diabetes. A pale or gray ring around the iris, known as arcus senilis, may be a sign of high cholesterol, especially in younger individuals.
A reddish or overly rosy tongue could indicate a vitamin deficiency, infection, or even oral herpes. One patient experienced persistent varicose veins that didn’t respond to compression therapy. After undergoing two procedures, her swelling and discomfort completely resolved.
Be mindful of these subtle changes—your body could be signaling something more serious.
