Most people would take better care of their health if they knew how to predict diseases and, according to a study of the University of Alberta in Canada , this is already possible just by looking at your hands, especially the size of your fingers.

In the research, the neurologist Pete Hurd ensures that the length of the index and annular fingers reveals data on personality (aggressiveness) and the risk that an individual has of suffering from a disease.

In information published on the portal Discover Magazine It is detailed that during the middle of the second trimester of the fetal development there is an increase of testosterone in men, which can influence their health and behavior of the adult stage.

This type of prenatal hormonal imbalance, from which causes are investigated, is identified in people who have an annular finger longer than the index.

Measure your fingers and predict your ailments

If you want to know what kind of diseases you can suffer or the level of your aggressiveness practice the following exercise:

Measure your fingers your index and ring fingers, from the base to the tip (most studies do it with the right hand). Divide the length of your index finger between the length of the ring finger, this way you will determine your Fq or "digital quotient".

A longer ring finger results in an Fq less than 1 and a more "masculine" general looking hand.

If you have a Fq less than one (ring finger larger than the index) you are prone to greater verbal aggression, greater athletic ability, a better sense of direction, react aggressively, take greater risks (men).

Women who have a smaller index finger than the ring finger may suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee.

If you have an Fq greater than one (index finger longer than the ring finger) you have healthy knees, a 33% lower risk of suffering from prostate cancer, but the possibility of developing oral cancer (men) is increased.

Remember that these characteristics do not represent a diagnosis, so do not forget to perform an annual medical check-up and go with your specialist in case of any symptoms that may harm your health. And you, how do you stay healthy?
