TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - We often feel healthy people are rarely ill or experience serious problems with health, weight, and always have a healthy lifestyle. But are we really healthy?

To find out if we are really healthy, it could not hurt to listen to some opinions of health experts. What does the health criteria look like? Here are the signs of a healthy body as quoted from The List.

1. Healthy and Thick Hair

Thin, branched, dry hair can be a marker of health problems, such as thyroid deficiency, stress, and malnutrition. Conversely, healthy hair is also a healthy indicator of the body. "Hair is a barometer of health in general," says hair and scalp expert David H. Kingsley PhD.

2. Strong Nails

Another window to an individual’s health is on every fingertip, exactly nails. "Nails are a perfect reflection of health. Much of what happens to the nails involves systemic or skin system problems, "said dermatologist. Christine Poblete-Lopez.

According to him, stress can affect the nails, hair, and signals from problems throughout the body. For example, reddish nail pads and yellow, and brittle nails. In addition to the fungus, the condition can be an indication of lupus or anemia.

3. Healthy Teeth and Gums

Oral health is also a health barometer. Strong teeth with pink gums is a healthy indicator of the body. Like other areas of the body, the mouth is a nest of bacteria, though many are harmless. But if oral hygiene is not maintained, the bacteria could become dangerous because it can cause mouth infections, porous teeth, and gum disease.

4. Body Mass Index is Balanced

Body mass index (BMI), is a measure of weight and height ratio as well as being a pointer to when there is excess fat. People whose BMI is less or more than the prescribed number may experience metabolic problems.

5. Enough sleep

We must know that sleep deprivation is bad for health and can trigger diabetes, weight gain, and heart disease.

6. Social Interaction

The results mentioned that having many friends, support from social networks, and interaction with others is very good for health, not just mental health, but also physical.

7. Healthy Diet

According to the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), regular consumption of fruits and vegetables can lower blood pressure, heart disease and stroke risk, prevent some types of cancer, reduce the risk of eye problems and digestion, as well as maintaining blood sugar levels.
