Bending Nails
Hemochromatosis or hypothyroidism can cause the nails to bend in a weird plunging manner.
Split Nails
Just like your hair can have split ends, your nail plate can also split. This happens if you are not drinking enough water every day. The split often occurs right in the middle of the nail causing extreme pain. It can also indicate a lack of protein and Vitamin C in your body. This condition can lead to psoriasis if you don’t take care.
Extra Thick Nails
If your nails are unnaturally thick, it can be due to bacterial infection. Lung ailments and thyroid can also result in the thickening of nails.
Unnatural Color Of Nails
If you have pinkish-white nails and a crescent shape near the bed then it’s normal. If you have white nails then it is a sign of an unhealthy liver. Dull nails are a result of a lack of nutrients. Reddish lines on the nail can be a result of heart contamination. Internal bacterial growth can give a greenish color to your nails. And bluish color nails are a result of lack of oxygen.
Do not overlook the condition of your nails as they can reveal a lot about your physical health!
