According to recent studies, a human body sends many signs indicating that there is something missing in the individual’s health.

Eyelids: Tiny-yellow bumps in the inner corner of the eye can be fatty acid deposits, which is an important sign of high cholesterol level in the individual’s body.

Earlobes: According to the NIH study, a diagonal crease in the earlobe is very significant. It may indicate a blocked circulation throughout the body and may be linked to a possibility of a heart attack.
Hair: Dry and brittle hair can be an indication of a thyroid problem or iron deficiency. Premature graying of hair indicates vitamin B12 deficiency. A sudden hair loss is considered a sign of too much stress.
Bruising: Bruising a lot more than usual could be an early sign of leukemia or reaction to medications.
Varicose veins and spider veins: Usually, these are hereditary.
