From nail ridges to eye twitches… what’s your body trying to tell you?

If you know what to look for, everything from acne, to white film on the tongue, or lines on your fingernails offer clues to underlying health issues

FOR every problem our bodies suffer on the inside, there’s a way it tries to tip us off on the outside.

Of course, often we miss the signs, either because they are too subtle, we’re not paying attention, or they seem harmless or ordinary.

Your body is basically trying to tell you you're not digesting your food well or that you have an allergy or intolerance.

Some of the most common include dairy, wheat, and nuts.

: "Other common causes of bloating include hormonal issues, candida, constipation, too much sugar or booze, stress, dysbiosis (an imbalance between the good and bad bacteria in our digestive tract) or IBS."

Both are red-flags for a compromised immune system, but cold sores and mouth ulcers are not the same thing.

Hay said: “For starters, mouth ulcers are found on the inside of the mouth on the gums, tongue and inner cheeks whereas cold sores develop on the outside on the lips.

“Most importantly, whilst mouth ulcers are indicative of a weakening immune system, they are non-contagious.

“Cold sores on the other hand are a manifestation of a dormant viral infection which flares up whenever our immune system becomes compromised for whatever reason.

“Your body is telling, or rather showing you that your immune systems is in need of some TLC.

“They often start popping up as the weather gets colder and in times of stress both of which can weaken our body's innate protective systems.

“The yellowing of the skin or eyes can be symptomatic of something more serious but they are all fundamentally either directly or indirectly related to the health status of the liver.

“Yellowing of the skin may be attributed to an excess intake of beta carotene, vitamin A and vitamin C, in which case it usually poses no threat, yellowing of the eyes is usually observed in people whose livers may be in trouble.

“In this case, seek medical advice as soon as possible, the earlier the problem is diagnosed, the better the prognosis."

Jaundice can also cause yellowing of the skin.
