Signs You Are Unhealthy But You Probably Ignore 


Good health is a measure of the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is the ability of individuals to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental,psychological and social changes with the environment.
Here are some signs to watch out for which really shows you are unhealthy and that you need to visit your doctor.

1. Hair
When you are overwhelmed, your hair will begin to show signs of stress which means you losing more than the standard 100 strands a day. It also becomes brittle, thin and dull when we don't eat healthy or are dehydrated.

2. Pimples
May be as a result of excessive stress and the attendant hormones, overzealousness of sebum and the skin flora as well as certain foods like greasy and fatty foods

3. Nails
The nails tell much about your body; the shape, texture growth rate and color might be a window to your body. While some nail symptoms are harmless, others could indicate chronic diseases.

Abnormally colored nails could follow ageing, abuse of nail polish, smoking,etc.
Thick discoloured nails could also be from fungal infections or be related to a thyroid diseases, diabetes,or respiratory diseases while a dark discoloration may suggest a melanoma, a deadly malignancy

4. Tongue
The tongue is like the door to the inside of the body. It is usually the first place where many internal disorders will show up

5. Urine
Could tell you more about the internal milieu


6. Eyes
The eyes are said to be the windows to the soul-puffy or swollen eyelids can result from an impaired kidney function.
Large abnormal pupils with/out abnormal reactions to light merit a visit to the professional. Same for yellow eyes which can indicate a variety of illnesses principally of hepatic origin such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
Redness of the eyes could suggest conjunctivitis, hypertension, glaucoma, thyroid disease, or scleritis, etc

7. Sleep Patterns
Not getting enough sleep is unhealthy but so is excessive sleep. There should be a healthy balance. People who don't get enough sleep could suffer from obesity and other cardiovascular diseases in the long run and immune disorders as well.
