Your body is an incredible machine. We tend to have this belief that it’s up to someone else to prescribe us medications to make us healthy, but in reality, your body does most of the work.

And if you’re listening, your body will tell you when things are going wrong. Here are some things to watch out for and what they might mean.

1.If You See This On Your Nails Immediately Visit A Doctor!

Visit your doctor right away if you notice any changes on your nails. Pay more attention if there are any changes and abnormalities in your nails.

If you notice white spots on your nails, don’t ignore that and make sure you visit your doctor as soon as possible. These white spots are known as the leukonchia, which is an issue for many people and it is harmless. They usually appear as a result from small injuries to the base of the nail. The white spots are caused because of the air bubbles in the nail and in some cases they can appear due to warts, fungus, psoriasis, eczema, or as a symptom of sarcodosis. It is a disease that affects the lungs, skin and many other organs.

2. ORAL BLEEDING.

Bleeding from the gums can be an indication that you’re just not taking care of your oral health all that well. If you floss after not flossing for a year, you might experience a small bit of bleeding.

But bleeding gums can also be an indicator of a vitamin C deficiency. Before you reach for a supplement, consider getting it from natural sources, like fruits and vegetables.

3. SLEEPLESSNESS AND CRAMPING.

Everyone gets cramps and insomnia sometimes, but if it becomes a persisting issue, it could mean you’re having a little trouble with magnesium.

Magnesium is an important nutrient for your brain, muscles, and heart health. If you’re experiencing this, visit a doctor and add foods like nuts, leafy greens, bananas, and fruits to your diet.

4. CRAVING SEAFOOD.

Chances are if you’re craving sugar, it means you’ve been eating too much sugar and junk food lately. Sugar is addictive, and junk food has pretty much no nutritional value; thus the name. If you’re craving sugar, combat it by eating a big salad. Give your body what it actually needs. It’s hard but you can retrain your tastes.

6. CRAVING SODIUM.

Salt is a necessary mineral for having a healthy body, so it’s okay to crave salt sometimes. Craving salty foods can also be a response to infection or inflammation somewhere in the body. Try to eat healthier salt, like Himalayan Pink Salt.

7. BRITTLE NAILS AND HAIR.
