12 SIGNS THAT YOU'RE UNHEALTHY
12 SIGNS THAT YOU'RE UNHEALTHY
- You Sleep Poorly
You Probably Have WAY Too Much Cortisol. The stress hormone cortisol is supposed to drop at night, allowing your body to rest and recharge. When you suffer from insomnia, it's often because your cortisol levels are revved up at night as a result of too many "fight-or-flight" stress responses in your body. - You Are Getting Shorter
Strange. The doctor just measured you two years ago. You used to be 5' 7." Now you're 5' 6 ½." Why are you shrinking? It's probably because your bones are starting to degenerate as a result of osteoporosis and will continue to do so as you age. - You Are "Apple-Shaped" Torso
Overweight people tend to fall into two categories: (1) "apples," who carry their extra weight around the waist and belly, and (2) "pears," who carry their weight around the hips and thighs. Apple-shaped individuals are at higher risk of heart disease than pear-shaped people. - You're Always Tired
Your fatigue might be the result of burning the midnight oil or pushing yourself too hard. It could also be because your thyroid isn't functioning properly, or your adrenal glands are burned out. - Your Urine Is Dark Yellow
Hydration is essential to maintaining a healthy body. If your urine is dark yellow, you're probably not drinking enough fluids. Stick to water, herbal or green tea, coconut water, or green juice. - You Only Move Your Bowels Once A Day—or Even Every Other Day
Healthy bowels move every time you eat a meal. Insufficient bowel eliminations can cause numerous health ailments and rapid aging effects. Your potty is your friend. - You Snore
Snoring may be the only early sign of sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that can increase your risk of pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. - You're Always Anxious
Anxiety can be caused by a variety of factors such as sex hormone imbalances, hyperthyroidism, or adrenal tumors. It's also often a result of areas of your life being out of alignment with your true self. - You're Always Itchy
Excessive itchiness may be a sign of liver disease. It could also just be allergies or another benign skin disorder, but don’t ignore it. - You Catch Colds and Flu Easily
This is a warning sign that your immune system is weakened, usually as a result of poor or unhealthy dietary habits. A healthy individual should be able to fight off most pathogens. - Your Lips Crack, Especially at the Corners of Your Mouth
Cracked lips can signal a deficiency in B vitamins, especially B12, which can lead to illnesses like anemia. It could also indicate stress, whether mental, emotional, or physical. - Your Skin Is Always Breaking Out
Frequent outbreaks of acne, psoriasis, eczema, or other rashes may be a sign your health is off. Skin issues can indicate food allergies or that your nervous system is in a constant stress response.
