Our body is a complex machine that often sends us subtle signals to indicate that something is wrong. It is important to pay attention to these indices, as they can reveal underlying health problems. Here are ten ways your body can try to warn you.
1. Feeling of tingling or itching in the legs
Feeling a feeling of tingling, itching or an irresistible urge to move the legs may be a sign of restless legs syndrome. This chronic condition often manifests itself at night, making it difficult to rest. It may be due to various factors, including neurological disorders or iron deficiency.
2. Skin thickening
Thickening and itching of the skin may signal internal problems such as hormonal imbalances, eczema or allergies. If these symptoms persist, it is recommended to consult a doctor for blood tests, as they may indicate a more serious health problem.
3. 3. Changes in writing, loss of smell and intense dreams
These symptoms may be precursors to Parkinson's disease. This neurodegenerative disorder is manifested by tremors, slow movement, and changes in sleep and writing habits. Recognizing these early signs can lead to more effective medical care, as well as the adoption of healthy habits.
4. Anger and aggressive behaviour
Unexplained bouts of anger can sometimes be related to depression. Contrary to popular belief, depression does not always manifest itself as a drop in energy or sadness. Increased irritability may also be a symptom. Experts advise not to neglect these signs and to consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
5. Excessive sleep
The excessive need for sleep, known as hypersomnia, may be a symptom of autoimmune disorders or other medical conditions. Consumption of alcohol before bedtime may also exacerbate this condition, leading to excessive drowsiness during the day.
6. Changes in the colour of the eyes
A white or grey ring around the cornea, visible in people under 45 years of age, may be an indicator of high cholesterol. Although this sign is harmless in itself, it can reveal cardiovascular problems that require dietary changes.
7. Frequently used for salt
An irresistible urge to eat salty foods can be an indicator of nutritional deficiencies such as iron or sodium deficiency, or a sign of anaemia. A medical evaluation may help to determine the underlying cause of these cravings.
