Nails And Your Health

It is a well-known fact that hair and nails give signals of a person’s state of health. This is half the battle that can solve many problems. Let’s try to look into the indications that are worth paying attention to.

Nails

Your nails can indicate many diseases in your body, but before getting diagnosed, you should be sure you don’t have a fungus infection.
 

• If you don’t use nail polish, but your nails have a yellow shadow it means that something is wrong with your liver. A red color shows the excess of erythrocytes, a blue color demonstrates that you have a weak heart. If your nails are too pale it is a symptom of anemia.
• A thumb is connected with brains and skull; forefinger is connected with lungs; middle finger – with a small intestine; forth finger – with a kidney; and little finger – with a heart.
• White spots on the forth fingernail show that you have deposits of calcium in a kidney; on a forefinger – accumulation of calcium in lungs. If you have white spots on every nail that means that you have a lack of zinc and something is wrong with your nervous system.
• Cross furrows appear after infectious diseases, operations and diets.
• Bulging nails may signal a weakness of heart and lungs.
• Large white demilunes at the roots of your nails show the predisposition to tachycardia. The absence of demilunes indicates a lack of vital strengths.
• Flat and curved nails indicate asthma and bronchitis.
• Nails can be ‘curly’ because of deficient blood flow to your fingers or because of a bad manicure.
• If your nails crack too often, it means you have some disease of the endocrine system, liver, bile-excreting ways or some skin diseases. Fragile nails indicate that there is lack of vitamins B, D, iron and calcium.
