Not every one has an apple a day, so how do you know you are healthy enough to keep the doctors away
1. If you are a woman your menstrual cycle is regular- Regular menstrual cycles (intervals of 27 to 35 days) are a sign of reproductive health. [They] suggest normal ovulation, and that reflects balanced hormone levels from the brain down to the ovaries. Women who are unhealthy because they’re overweight or underweight tend to have more erratic or even absent periods; the brain shuts down ovarian function and ovulation doesn’t happen or happens unpredictably
2. If your hair and nails are thick- Thick abundant hair and firm, fast growing nails tend to be a sign of good health. The opposite: thinning hair, brittle or cracked nails, are often a sign of marked nutritional deficiencies such as lack of iron, vitamin D, and other key [nutrients].
3. You tend to have a lot of energy-If you spring out of bed each morning, ready to hit the gym and face the day, you are likely doing pretty well. Many illnesses and vitamin deficiencies can leave you sluggish, lacking energy and fatigued.
3.You can deal with your own and other's emotions- We’ve all got needs—for connection, nurturing, respect, autonomy, to name just a few—and being able to recognize, express, and pursue these creates better relationships and a happier life. Healthy people also try to understand and meet the emotional needs of others. They’re curious and attentive to how others feel. When they do something that’s hurtful, they make amends and they make changes.
4. You don't get any headaches and they don't last normal-Headaches—we all get them. They are the result of stress, or tense musculature, and are normal. In a healthy person, they pass in time and do not linger. An occasional migraine or other headache is not uncommon, but if medications no longer work, and other medical causes have been ruled out, you may benefit by exploring other options, depending on the origin or type of headache.
5. Your circulation is good-With good circulation, you might occasionally have an arm or leg fall asleep and get that ‘pins and needles’ feeling which clears up fairly quickly. It may occur with sitting or lying in an odd position. However, if tingling, numbness, or weakness endures, it may signal compression of a nerve—often called a pinched nerve. Prolonged symptoms should not be ignored.
