Have you heard this expression? There are no healthy people, only those who haven’t been fully examined. And indeed, if you start digging, you can find some deviations from the norm of health in anyone (I emphasize — in anyone). But it’s not that bad, believe me. Here is a list of markers showing that your body is healthier than you think.

And our communities on Max and Telegram will help you learn more about your own health and body, as well as training, nutrition, and even dietary supplements.

You fall asleep within 15–20 minutes – sign #1

This means that your central nervous system is in a normal state. (if you are bothered by cramps when falling asleep — go here), and melatonin is being produced normally. Your body is transitioning into rest mode properly.

And to be able to fall asleep in just a couple of minutes, you need to train your body to fall asleep and wake up at roughly the same time. In other words, stick to a sleep schedule. In another article I described the top 7 sleep problems.

You walk quickly – sign #2

Scientists have found that brisk walking for just 15 minutes a day significantly reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other illnesses. If walking to work or running errands quickly is normal for you, that is a sign of fairly good health.

You wake up hungry – sign #3

Hunger may not be felt immediately after you open your eyes, but after a short period of time, for example 15–20 minutes. Morning hunger is a good sign that the gastrointestinal tract is doing its job well while you sleep. And hormones such as insulin, ghrelin, and cortisol are working as designed by our Creator.

Injuries heal quickly – sign #4

These are cuts, scrapes, and bruises. If such minor injuries regenerate quickly, it means your immune system is doing an excellent job. Fast healing is a great sign that you are healthier than you think.

You don’t need coffee to function in the morning – sign #5

I’m not against coffee. It’s a great and legal way to boost productivity in the moment. But if you can manage without it in the morning, that’s a good sign.

If you wake up feeling energetic and rested, and you don’t need to pour caffeine into yourself (you can, but you don’t need to), all of this indicates an excellent condition of your body and health.

Clear skin – sign #6

This indicates a low level of inflammation in your body. Your intestinal microflora (beneficial bacteria) is normal, which means your immune system is coping; the absorption of micronutrients and nutrients is normal. All together, this gives us clear skin without inflammation, spots, pimples, fungal infections, etc.

You have decent flexibility – sign #7

If you can reach the floor with your hands without bending your knees, that is a good marker. The elasticity of the muscles in the back of the thighs and lower back is a good sign of the health of the musculoskeletal system and a reduced risk of injuries to the hip joints and lumbar spine.

By the way, the health signs described above are surface markers. The deeper ones are in the article “Top 6 Health Markers”.
