Thesethings your hands can tell about your body health

People say that the appearance of your hands can reveal your age, but did you know that your hands can also tell you about your health? Yes, your hands speak a lot about your health and also about health problems, if there are any. Here is how you can know if you are suffering from any health issues:

Red Palms

People usually think that the red color of the palms is because of the blood, but actually, it can point towards a serious health issue. If you are facing this problem for a long time now, it may indicate an unhealthy liver. It may also occur because of hormonal imbalance. In any such case, you must immediately consult your doctor.

Sweaty Palms

In this case, you must get a medical check-up done and also keep a check on your breathing process. You must also cut down on your alcohol consumption.

Loss Of Sensitivity

There are times when we keep sitting in one position and lose sensitivity from some areas of our body. This actually happens when our sensory nerves get pressurized and it eventually gets relaxed. However, if you are facing this problem for a long time, it may show that you are facing the problem of cervical. It is best to get in touch with your doctor for the same.

Dry Hands

If you face the problem of dry hands all the time, irrespective of the different seasons, then your body is dehydrated and there may be a shortage of estrogen in your body. To get rid of this problem, make sure you drink lots of water and take a good diet. Take advice from your doctor about your hormonal disbalance. Also, use a soap that comes with a moisturizer and keep applying a moisturizing cream on your hands at regular intervals.

Trembling Hands

Trembling hands can be an indicator of a serious health problem. You must immediately see your doctor if you face this and should also reduce your coffee intake.

Clubbed Fingers

If your fingers are swollen, they may be an evidence of a serious health issue. Usually, women who have such fingers are suffering from cancer or heart problems. Consult your doctor as soon as possible.
