13. Loss of Eyebrows
If you are over 60, thinning eyebrows is a normal occurrence. However, for those under 50, this can be the first sign of a thyroid problem. See your doctor to rule out hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid.
14. Relentless Bad Breath
There are many causes for bad breath including smoking, poor oral hygiene or even eating certain foods. However, if you are brushing and flossing, as well as brushing your tongue, and you still have bad breath, it could be a sign that you have digestive problems, acid reflux, kidney failure or even stomach cancer. See your dentist first to rule out tooth decay, then see a doctor if the dentist gives you the all-clear.

15. Dark Colored Stools
Ok, this isn’t something most people like to talk about, but sometimes we need to face the facts. Your stools can change color based on your diet or medications, even herbal supplements, but sometimes dark-colored poop is telling you that you have an iron deficiency. Stools streaked with red could mean hemorrhoids, a bleeding ulcer, or other problems in the intestines or digestive tract. Most times these are not serious problems, but occasionally, they are. Talk to your doctor if this problem continues.

WOW! Based on this list, I must be healthier than I thought, considering doctors expected me dead already four times. Currently I have prostate cancer I reduced with herbs and it does not bother me.
