Light-colored urine means that the body is well hydrated and in its normal state. For its part, dark-colored urine is an indicator of dehydration or poor functioning of the kidney, responsible for eliminating harmful substances from the body through urine. Urinating too frequently is a common symptom in people who suffer from diabetes or urinary tract infections. This problem is also associated with excessive alcohol consumption, pregnancy and weakened muscles. A strong urine odor can also be an indication that something is not quite right. If this smell is added to the dark color and frequent desire to urinate, it is best to immediately consult a doctor. Bleeding in the urine is a common symptom of a urinary tract or kidney disease. The most common case n is one that indicates kidney stones. 3. How your skin speaks to you The skin is our largest tissue and it is also the one most exposed to a large number of factors that can alter it. It is important to review it frequently, since almost always, through it, many of the health problems or disorders that we have internally are reflected. If when checking your skin you notice changes in color, the appearance of moles or spots, severe acne problems or other alterations, it is best to consult a dermatologist to receive an accurate diagnosis and prevent serious diseases such as skin cancer. The most important sign for melanoma is a new mole on the skin or an existing one that has changed in size, shape, or color. Another important sign is a mole that looks different from the others on the skin (known as the ugly duckling sign). If you have any of these signs, see your doctor for a skin check. 4. How your nails speak to you Changes or alterations in the nails can be a symptom of different types of diseases. Nails are part of our personal image, but they are also a window to detect that something is not right in our body. Pale nails: If the nails lose their shine and begin to look pale, it is possible that they are warning of a problem of anemia and a lack of red blood cells in the blood. In this case, it is good to consult a doctor and improve your diet by consuming foods rich in iron. Cracked and brittle nails: Cracked and brittle nails can indicate thyroid problems. Thickened and yellowish nails: This type of nails indicate that there is a presence of fungus, which can spread throughout the entire surface of the nail. 5. How your friends talk to you ntes Swelling or bleeding of the gums during brushing may indicate diabetes or gum disease. Studies have shown that diabetics have a higher risk of developing gum disease, compared to people who do not have diabetes. Gum disease is triggered by bacterial infections. The gums become sensitive to bacteria and microorganisms present in the oral cavity. Experts believe that proper oral hygiene does not mean that the gums become resistant, but it certainly reduces the risk of certain diseases or complications. Cracks are part of the aging process, but can also indicate acid reflux. In cases of acid reflux, stomach acids rise to the esophagus and cause heartburn.
