SEVEN THINGS OUR NAILS CAN , INDICATE ABOUT OUR HEALTH

Certainly! Here are seven things our nails can indicate about our health: 1. **Color Changes**: Pale nails might signal anemia, yellowing could indicate fungal infection, while bluish nails may suggest poor circulation or respiratory issues. 2. **Brittle or Cracked Nails**: Brittle nails may point to a deficiency in vitamins like biotin or minerals like iron, or it could indicate thyroid problems. 3. **Pitting or Grooves**: Small dents or grooves might be a sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. 4. **Clubbing**: Enlarged fingertips and curved nails may be a sign of lung disease, heart disease, or inflammatory bowel disease. 5. **White Spots**: Contrary to popular belief, these are usually not a sign of calcium deficiency but can indicate minor injuries or fungal infection. 6. **Changes in Nail Shape**: Changes in shape, such as spooning (concave nails), might be linked to iron deficiency anemia or heart disease. 7. **Beau's Lines**: Horizontal indentations across the nails could be due to severe illness, high fever, or trauma that temporarily interrupts nail growth.
