Your hair: the long and the short of it -- Reading your eyes -- Listening to your ears -- Your nose knows -- Read my lips...and mouth -- Telling the truth: your throat, voice, neck, and jaw -- The main body of evidence: your torso and extremities -- Private parts, farts, and body wastes -- Scratching the surface: your skin and nails.
We all notice things about our bodies that don't seem quite right, from brittle hair to excessive flatulence. But when are these simply harmless physical quirks and when are they signs that a visit to the doctor is in order? This guide covers every body part from head to toe---and everything in between--to help you decode the often mysterious messages your body sends you. Drawn from cutting-edge research and the latest scientific literature, and vetted by a panel of medical experts, this book also includes historical trivia and fascinating factoids about each body area.--From publisher description.
