Every day and, of course, more than once a day, we look at our own hands and, as a rule, do not particularly focus on their appearance. No, of course, we take care of them to the best of our ability, they are always clean, etc. But if there are any “problems” in our body, we usually do not notice subtle changes (unless we complain about age-related ones), which can "signal" about the early symptoms of certain diseases. And this relationship has been proven. estet-portal.com will talk about the main signs of ill health: those that our hands suggest.
Determine the state of health by hand: 5 important "signs"
Undoubtedly, our hands play the most important role in our lives.
You should pay more attention to your hands and always be ready to catch possible signs of an incipient illness.
Hand shake
If this happens suddenly, then anyone can be alarmed. Many people know that such a symptom is inherent in Parkinson's disease. However, it is not always so serious. Hand tremors can be the result of abuse of antidepressants or an excess of caffeine in the body.
Dry skin
Quite often, no one, including creams with a very oily texture, is able to get rid of peeling and cracks on the skin of the hands. Dryness of the dermis usually indicates a lack of fluid in the body or kidney dysfunction. Among other things, this unpleasant symptom can be an alarm bell for the manifestation of diabetes mellitus.
Peeling can be triggered by a fungal infection (skin peels off in large plates) or an insufficient amount of vitamins A and D in the body (if peeling occurs in small plates).
But another problem is also possible: dry skin is not caused by a deficiency of the above mentioned vitamins, they are simply not absorbed by the body.
Hot or cold upper limbs
The warmth of the hands must be taken into account. For example, if they are burning (except, of course, an obvious increase in temperature), this is a likely sign of intoxication, then the liver cannot cope with it. The release of toxins into the blood is possible in case of poisoning with drugs, chem.
Cold hands may indicate a low blood pressure in a person. Often this is also a sign of an insufficient amount of nicotinic acid and iron in the body. Violation of peripheral circulation (i.e., blood flow in capillaries, small arteries, venules) is not excluded. You should eat more meat, dairy and seafood, beans, buckwheat, mushrooms.
Sweaty hands
Such a problem indicates not only that the person is worried or has suffered stress. Systematically sweaty palms – one of the symptoms of malfunctions in the activity of the thyroid gland, or rather, it is a consequence of hyperfunction of the thyroid gland (more active production of hormones responsible for the metabolic process) – in other words, hyperthyroidism.
But there is also the other side of the "medal" – hypothyroidism. It is characterized by a decrease in the production of these same hormones by the thyroid gland, and then swelling of the fingers is possible, sometimes even their excessive swelling: so much so that it is impossible to remove the same ring.
In both cases, if you suspect thyroid dysfunction, you should visit an endocrinologist and immediately do an ultrasound of this organ.
Red Hands
Most people who experience redness on their hands cannot figure out why this is happening. As a rule, these are people with hypersthenic (wide-boned) structure of the upper limbs. As a rule, in such persons the metabolic process is slowed down, therefore, red hands for them, in general, should not be presented as a crisis situation: in any case, treatment is not required here. But if you – the owner (-neva) of miniature hands and at the same time they are red, this may be a sign of hypertension or a violation of the activity of the thyroid gland. And red palms will indicate hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver.
By the way, not only the color of our palms indicates that something is wrong in the body: they, in principle, are a kind of information field indicating the state of our body. By noticing changes in the palms, you can understand which of the organs "asks" for help.
Be attentive to yourself: when you are worried about any ailments, do not forget that the state of health can also be determined by the hands and the "map"; organism – palms.
