O Que Suas Unhas Dizem Sobre Sua Saúde

Today, nails are primarily considered a purely aesthetic feature of our bodies. In fact, it's estimated that the global nail polish market will reach $15.55 billion by 2024. However, your nails can be not only a platform for contemporary design, but also a reflection of your overall health. A change in nail color and texture can be a sign of lung, heart, or nervous system disease. We at Bright Side believe that it's always easier to cure a disease if you can identify it early. Your nails aren't just a beauty accessory; they're intimately connected to systems throughout your body. Here are some signs your nails may be sending you about health problems.

If the infection isn't treated promptly, the problem can worsen, and your nails may even acquire a greenish hue and become brittle. White nails with a pink stripe at the top ("Terry's nails") can be a sign of congestive heart failure, kidney failure, diabetes, and some liver problems, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. Dark red nails may indicate heart disease. If the redness extends to the sides of your nails and cuticles, it could be a sign of an autoimmune disease called lupus. Brittle and fragile nails are often linked to hypothyroidism, a condition in which your thyroid gland works too slowly. Vertical grooves are usually a normal sign of aging, as are wrinkles on your face. But if they become prominent on young nails, it could mean you're suffering from a vitamin B12 or magnesium deficiency. Pitting nails, or depressions in the nails, can indicate skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. This can also be an early sign of connective tissue disorders, such as inflammatory arthritis, a disease that affects the joints. Spoon nails (“koilonychia”), a condition in which your nails resemble a spoon, with raised ridges and a hollow depression, can be a sign of hemochromatosis. Nail clubbing is when the fingertips become enlarged and the nails curve downward. This type of nail growth can be a sign of low blood oxygen levels, which is often caused by lung disease. Dark vertical lines extending from the cuticle to the tip of the nail can be a sign of subungual melanoma, a very dangerous type of skin cancer. Although most people believe that white streaks ("Mee's lines") signal a calcium deficiency, this is not true. These white discolorations on your nails usually indicate an unbalanced diet lacking protein.
