Your body is constantly communicating with you. Sometimes the messages are loud and obvious—but more often, they’re subtle. A random bruise that seems to appear from nowhere, a white coating on your tongue, or fingernails that suddenly look pale or ridged may not seem like a big deal.

Unexplained bruises, for example, are often caused by minor bumps you don’t remember, and bruising can become easier as skin becomes thinner with age.
