Spotting a health condition early is the best way to secure a positive outcome (Image: Daily Mirror) Your hands can reveal a lot about you, from the hardness and callouses formed by years of physical work to the softness indicative of a more leisurely lifestyle. However, they can also signal the onset of severe health issues, including heart disease and lung cancer. Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in the UK after dementia, claiming over 60,000 lives each year due to related conditions.
While genetic factors can influence the likelihood of developing heart disease, early detection can lead to preventative measures such as dietary changes or medication. Lung cancer, the fifth leading cause of death in the UK, claims the lives of 95 individuals prematurely each day. Besides adopting healthier habits like quitting smoking to reduce your risk of developing lung cancer or mesothelioma, spotting symptoms early and seeking medical attention can increase survival rates by up to 20 times.
Although your hands are physically distant from where these health issues originate, they can exhibit various symptoms indicating something is seriously wrong within your body. While most of these signs can be harmless, some should always prompt a visit to a healthcare professional. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
