Do you frequently concentrate on what you believe are weaknesses in your health? You might be surprised to find out that your body is indicating you are in better shape than you think. Nutritionist Suman Agarwal describes seven subtle hints that suggest you could be healthier than you assume.

You can carry groceries without straining your muscles. "This shows that both your grip strength and overall muscle power are better than you realize. Your grip strength is a strong indicator of your heart health and lifespan," Suman explains. You have daily bowel movements. This shows that your digestive system is functioning well. "Having irregular bowel movements indicates issues with digestion, poor gut health, and inflammation," she notes. You can comfortably hold your breath for 30 seconds. This implies that your respiratory health is robust and your ability to hold oxygen is excellent.

You wake up only once or maybe not at all. This indicates that you're reaching REM and deep sleep effectively. The nutritionist adds, "Waking up several times means your blood sugar might be dropping, and there could be hormonal issues. I always emphasize that sleep is crucial for good health." You don't feel like having sugary foods after eating. This indicates that your insulin sensitivity is healthy and your blood sugar levels are stable. Suman points out that frequent cravings for sugar or desserts suggest a problem with glucose metabolism. You tend to fall asleep in under 20 minutes. This signifies that your nervous system and internal body clock are aligned. You feel alert within half an hour of waking up. "This suggests your cortisol levels are functioning well, and you slept soundly throughout the night. Share in the comments which signs you notice in your body," she says.

These bodily clues mean you are in better shape than you think. Your health is improving, so take pride in it.
