Did you know that your fingernails can reveal a lot about your health? Yes, you read it right- nails are not just meant for manicures and nail art. They can be the indicator of your failing health. The edges of your nails, their color, and their shape can indicate many health conditions. So, don’t forget to look for the following signs in your fingernails.
Abnormally Rounded Nails
Do you have slightly puffed nails? Is the skin around your fingernails weirdly inflated? It that’s the case, you may have a breathing problem or a dysfunctional liver. If your nail bed is too round, it might be indicative of respiratory issues.
Brittle Or Flaky Nails
If your nails break quite often or are very brittle, it may be due to bacterial activity. It could also be due to genetic hormonal imbalance or thyroid.
Ridges On Nails
If your nails are not smooth and have uneven lines on them, you may suffer from arthritis. Another reason behind ridges on nails is a special case of lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease. In this condition, the body’s immune system starts attacking the healthy tissues.
Dunk In The Nails
This condition can happen for a number of reasons. You may have accidentally smashed your hand somewhere. Else, you might have pushed them too hard. However, sometimes it indicates that you may have a zinc deficiency in your body. It can also be the result of weak immunity or patchy skin around the nails.
