5 Body Signals You Should Not Ignore!

When it comes to staying healthy, not only do you need to be aware of how your body changes over time, but you need to know what is normal for you.

When you are consistently doing self-examinations, you are going to be more likely to notice sudden changes that would otherwise go unchecked.

With this said, here are five body signals that you need to be aware of and not ignore when they occur, as they could be an indication of an unhealthy body.

1. Sudden Weight Gain or Loss: regardless of whether you have a quick weight gain or a quick weight loss, both can be a sign that something more serious is going on.
The first reason is you may not be getting enough sleep, which your body perceives as stress, which can cause weight gain.
The second reason could be a hormonal imbalance which should be checked out by your family doctor.
The third reason may be from a thyroid gland disorders which causes you to either make too much or too little in the way of hormones.

2. Edema: watch your legs, feet and fingers throughout the day.
If they are normal size in the morning and are swollen by the end of the day, this could be an indication that you have edema.
You can get edema either from varicose veins which causes veins to protrude out or from high blood pressure and heart problems.
If you notice that your face is swollen in the morning, you could also have problems with your kidneys.

3. Bruising: if you keep bruising and don’t have an explanation for it, this may be an indication that you have a blood-related disease or a vitamin deficiency.
If you have a lack of vitamin C, this can cause issues with your metabolism and subsequent bruising.
Other than this, diseases like thrombocytopenia and vasculitis can cause bruising.

4. The Condition of Your Tongue: take a look at the condition of your tongue and notice whether you have a thin or thick layer of white across the top of it.
If it is thin, you are good to go, but if it is thick then you have some issues with digestion.
Other than this, if your tongue is yellow and you have a bitter taste in the mouth, then you have issues with your gallbladder and liver.
Finally, if you have a grey-yellow layer, it may be an indication that you have a chronic disease.

5. The Condition of Your Gums: if you have swollen, weak, or red gums, this is an indication that you have poor oral hygiene and that you may have gum disease.
Pay attention if you have any gum membranes that are inflamed around one single tooth, or whether your gums bleed when you brush them.

If you have painful reactions to cold and hot food, this is another indication that something more serious is going on.
If you have any gum tissue that detaches itself from the tooth, this is a sign of periodontitis and if you have any cracks in your teeth, this is a sign of periodontal disease.

If you don’t do self-examinations at home, it is very important that you start.

Early detection is the number one preventative measure that you can partake in to ensure that if something is wrong, you have the best chance of getting it treated correctly.
