One of the toughest parts of living with an illness lies in figuring out what you did wrong. To many people, it may seem like things took an unexpected bad turn overnight, but is this truly the case?
If there’s one thing the human body is good at, it’s giving people early warning signs. The trick is knowing how to pay attention and be proactive before you get diagnosed with a severe ailment.
Quit overlooking the subtle warnings that your body has been sending you. Changing your self-care habits now will let you reap life-changing rewards later, so why not adopt a more proactive attitude? Here are some of the hallmarks of ill health that you might not have noticed.
