The body sends signals that things are wrong and need fixing.
But most guys don't know what to look out for.
Here are 7 health signals to watch out for:
1. Unclear eyes
This can be in the range between bloodshot & jaundiced eyes.
Bloodshot eyes could signal irritation, allergies, lack of sleep, reactions, infection & other medical conditions.
Jaundice eyes could be a liver, gallbladder, or pancreas issue.
One time I had to tell a friend that he was drinking so much due to jaundice in his eyes. Cut it down next time I saw him his eyes were clear.
2. Manboobs
No man should ever let their body go full "manboob".
The cause of this is low testosterone & high estrogen.
The main impact this has on men is increased anxiety, low self esteem, self consciousness, low confidence & all the symptoms that come with having low T.
