Our bodies are like amazing early warning systems, often tipping us off to health problems way before we even think about seeing a doctor. Dr. Bhavini Shah from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor has alerted the British public to keep a close eye on one particular body part. Why? Because it can be a real game-changer in preventing certain illnesses.
She pointed out that by observing this specific area, you could spot up to seven signs that might mean it’s time to call your GP and book an appointment.
Any guesses which part of the body it is?
You got it – it’s your fingernails.
As reported by WalesOnline, Dr. Shah explained, “Nails naturally change over time. As we get older, they tend to become more brittle. During pregnancy, changes in nail texture are common too, but usually go back to normal within six months after having a baby.
