A slim waist, glowing skin, and glossy hair are not the sign of good health according to scientists.

The research was conducted by Nuffield Health, a private medical and gym chain. Experts said that when we judge someone’s health based on their looks, we ignore hidden but highly important factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol.

“In fact, many of the most important indicators of health have no outwards signs.”
