5. Black Stools
As gross a subject as it may be, our stools are something that we should pay more attention to. This is because our stools can tell us a lot about our health just by looking at them. Even just the color of them can help alert us to the fact that there is something wrong.
Our stools are naturally a shade of brown. If they appeared black, this suggests that there is blood in the stool, and this is not a good sign. You might also notice liquid blood in your stools, and the stools will also sometimes have a tar-like consistency. If you are showing these symptoms then you should arrange to speak with your doctor as soon as you can.
