The human body is a near-perfect machine. It can fight everything to stay alive and has been designed so. However, in order to stay that way, we should lend a helping hand or two. Unfortunately, we often push our bodies past the breaking point, so they end up needing professional support.
We often ignore certain signs that the body needs help, thinking it’s nothing serious. However, if we all learn how to listen to our bodies, we can keep our health in shape with ease. Below are some signs that show our bodies need help which you should never ignore.
Food Cravings
Why do we crave foods one day more than the other? Food cravings usually occur due to poor diets and no exercise. Your body is obviously in need of certain nutrients which you won’t find in junk food for sure. In order to fight food cravings, you should eat a healthy diet and exercises regularly too.
Leg Cramps
Innocent, right? Well, not exactly. Leg cramps most often occur due to magnesium deficiency. This can be solved with magnesium supplements and a healthy diet. Make sure you don’t stand on your feet too long – it can cause cramps as well.
Headaches
While headaches are common and they can come and go, they might sometimes occur due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, dehydration, and lack of sleep. Each of these causes are easy to fix, so make sure to rest and hydrated properly and eat a healthy diet to prevent them.
Dry Skin
Dry skin can occur due to weather changes, but it can also occur due to improper skin care or missing nutrients. Talk to your dermatologist if your skin is too dry and nothing helps. You might need an alternative way of treatment.
Fatigue
Do you often feel tired to go through the day? It can be a result of stress, low nutrient levels, or even hormonal problems. If proper sleep doesn’t resolve your fatigue, talk to a doctor ASAP.
Bad Breath
Bad breath may indicate that your diet is too high in acids. It is also caused by improper oral care, smoking, and a generally unhealthy way of life.
Irregular Bowel Movements
Irregular bowel movements can occur due to many health problems, some of them very serious. If this is a problem that bugs you often, it’s time to visit a doctor. Healthy diet and exercise can improve your bowel movements, but it wouldn’t hurt to see what your doctor has to say about it.
Purple Knuckles
If your knuckles are purple and swollen, it may be a result of dermatomyositis. It’s a condition that occurs due to lack of collagen and inflammation in the joints. Purple knuckles are hard to move often, so make sure to visit a doctor if you have them.
Split Hair Ends
This is another problem that seems innocent, but it actually isn’t. Split hair ends can be caused by improper hair care, but it can also be caused by unhealthy diet, malnourishment, and vitamin D deficiency.
