The palm of our hands tells the secret of health

  Dr Deepak Verma, Consultant Internal Medicine, Columbia Asia Hospital, is giving some easy tips to know about health from palms.

  1. palm red :-
           If your palm remains red for a long time, it is not normal.  It indicates liver problems.  Redness is usually seen on the outer part of the palms.  If red spots appear on the palm, consult a doctor.  However, the problem is more in those who are 50 years or older.  Redness in palms is common in pregnant women due to increased blood circulation.  Redness in the palms may also occur due to changes in the balance of hormones.

  2. excessive sweating in the palm
             Some people’s palms are sweaty.  Stress or overactive thyroid can be the cause.  Sometimes it can be normal to sweat in the palms.  But sweating in this way at normal or low temperatures also indicates hyperhydrosis.  It can also be a sign of a disease like heart disease, diabetes, stress, depression, hypothyroidism.

  3. palm dryness :-
              Dryness in the palm is common in winter.  But if the palm skin remains dry continuously, it may be due to dehydration and lack of hormone estrogen.  To avoid this, drink sufficient amount of water.  Use moisturizing hand cream to keep the palms soft and hydrated.  Make changes in diet.  Include fish (if non-vegetarian), seeded vegetables and nuts in the diet.  If nails are too weak or broken, there may be a lack of zinc in the body.  Include zinc-rich foods such as oats, sesame, flaxseed, peanuts, nuts, etc. in the diet.  But first consult a doctor.

  4. Paleness of Palms :-
             Yellowing of the palms can be a sign of a liver disease like jaundice, liver fibrosis, liver infection, etc.  Such people often feel tired or lacking in energy.  Their digestibility is also weak.  Such people should take special care of food and drink.  If the palm is white, it can be a sign of lack of hemoglobin or blood in the body.  Yellowing is seen in the pupils of the hands and eyes when there is a problem in the liver.

  5. Shaking hands :-
                  Sometimes, trembling or shaking in the hands can be a sign of Parkinson’s disease.  This completely destroys the vital nerve cell in the brain, so that it does not get complete signal.  Initially it affects the nerve cell.  Takes the activity of the body in its JD.  Usually this can be due to stress.  Take these symptoms seriously.
