emustore Our body screams voicelessly to us and still left unnoticed until it gets worse. So here’s some telltale signs for you. EYES If you see small yellow lumps on your eyelids that ruins your make-up, it means that your cholesterol is dangerously high. ”Fatty deposits under the skin of the eyelids can suggest a higher than likely possibility of very high cholesterol,” says Queensland GP Dr Mason Stevenson. Visit your doctor for a lipid levels test. MOUTH Chapped, cracked , white patches in the corner in your mouth could mean thrush infection. ”A fungal infection is easily cleared with an antifungal cream,” assures Dr Stevenson. Although a blood test might show up a possible vitamin B or iron deficiency, also linked to recurrent mouth ulcers. FACE Excess facial and pubic hair could point to PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a sometimes symptom-free condition that can cause infertility. “PCOS is surprisingly common, and is associated with varying degrees of obesity,” says Dr Stevenson. “The ovaries produce extra male sex hormones, which can promote excess hair growth.” Other symptoms can include acne, irregular periods and ovarian cysts. Treatments range from weight-loss programs to hormone medication. HANDS Pale flecks on your nails may mean low iron and zinc levels, which can leave you tired and prone to bad skin and colds. “The most common cause of white spots on nails is trauma to the nail bed,” explains Dr Stevenson. But make sure you’re getting your daily dose of iron (found in red meat, fish, eggs and dark leafy vegetables) and zinc (from oysters, beef and nuts), and put down the cuticle LEGS From a lack of fitness to poor circulation, getting a cramp in your leg can mean many things. One of the top causes is dehydration, so make sure you’re well hydrated if you’re a sufferer. Dr Stevenson says night cramps could be a sign of an underlying disorder, like diabetes, so see your GP for a blood test. FEET High heels aren’t the only culprits when it comes to a burning sensation in feet and heels. If it’s teamed with tiredness, you could be low in vitamin B. Dr Stevenson warns that long-term vitamin B12 deficiency could lead to permanent nerve damage. Body Telltale Signs is a post from: Daily World Buzz
