Physical Warning Signs of Illness

When illness is unlikely, the body sends out more warning signals. If these cautions are disregarded, severe health consequences may ensue.

Not all of them should be treated as serious problems. It’s best to err on the side of caution, however.

This piece serves just as background reading. If you need more medical guidance, you should consult a doctor.

1) Hair thinning and flaking as a physical warning

A vitamin or nutrient shortage may cause dandruff and hair loss. Zinc, iron, and the B vitamins (B2, B3, B6, and B7) are the most often deficient nutrients.

2. hands with wrinkles

Age-related wrinkles are quite natural. However, signs of dehydration, thyroid issues, or poor blood circulation include more wrinkled hands and fingers.

3.  bodily signals such as white spots on the tongue

If you don’t take good care of your teeth and gums, you may end up with white spots on your tongue. However, they might be an indication of oral thrush, a common condition among diabetics.
