The body often warns us that we have a health problem, but we so often ignore it. The signs that the body sends us are most often of a physical nature, so it is necessary to pay attention.
It's easy, of course, if we know what we're looking for.
Hearing problems indicate diabetes
People with diabetes have twice the risk of hearing loss than those without diabetes, scientists from Japan's Niigata University have found.
Diabetics under the age of 60 are at greater risk of hearing problems, and experts believe that high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the ears.
Periodontal disease is associated with erectile dysfunction
Bad breath and periodontal disease are associated with erectile dysfunction. Turkish scientists have found that men who have periodontal disease also have a three times higher risk of erectile dysfunction.
Therefore, you should take care of your teeth, wash them regularly and visit the dentist at least twice a year.
You look older, take care of your heart
People who look older than they really are have a higher risk of heart problems, warned Danish researchers from the University Hospital in Copenhagen.
Those who started getting their first gray hair earlier, losing their hair or had problems with cholesterol build-up had a 40 percent higher risk of heart disease.
In addition, the risk of heart attack after the age of 35 was 57 percent higher than in other people.
Damage to the nails may indicate lupus
Redness and bleeding under the nails can be a sign of the autoimmune disease lupus.
Swelling and red lines at the base of the nail, as well as a rash on the hands, are also possible.
Problems with the sense of smell have been linked to Alzheimer's
Loss of the sense of smell may be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, a study by the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has found.
Scientists have stimulated the increased production of amyloid precursor, a protein present in the development of Alzheimer's disease, in mice. Compared to healthy mice, these animals had a higher rate of neuronal death in the snout.
After the age of 70, people gradually lose their sense of smell, but if it appears at a younger age, you should contact your doctor.
