You can tell about the disease by a rather unexpected sign. The fact is that the body odor indicates the disease.

Dr. Madina Shorova reported more about this, writes the Izvestia publication.

According to the specialist, the smell of acetone and rotten apples indicates the problem.

It appears because the level of glucose in the blood increases, but insulin cannot break it down.

As a result, it begins to break down fats. Acetone begins to accumulate in the body. The substance is excreted through the skin.

At the same time, other symptoms appear. For example, a person may complain of dizziness, weakness, nausea or vomiting.

There are other problems that cause the smell of acetone.

We are talking about thyroid dysfunction, which is accompanied by increased function.

The symptom is also easy to notice in men and women who are losing weight and who abuse fasting.
