Usually, nails account for 3/5 of the fingers, arched in a rectangular shape, and the transverse diameter at the top is slightly larger than that at the base. The white half-moon part of the nail root is called nail half-moon, which is also commonly known as nail white in folk, just located in the center of each finger, and there is no big deviation. Speaking of it, when all fingernails have proper nail whitening, it can be inferred that human health is in good condition. If 10 fingernails are not or only a little white, it means that the body is exhausted or sick. The ideal nail polish should account for about 1/5 of the nail area. Too much or no nail polish doesn't mean you are strong.
The growth and shape of nails will be affected by physical changes at any time. Especially from the color of nails, whether there is normal white nails, we can see whether I am healthy or sick. In addition, some clues can be seen from the following 10 different pathological nails. We should pay attention to this, adopt correct treatment methods and try to correct it as soon as possible.
First of all, nails are brittle.
First of all, we must find out the reasons: First, nails have been in contact with water for too long; Second, protein and calcium, sulfur, zinc and other elements or vitamins A, B and C in the diet are insufficient; Third, chronic diseases or emotional stress; Fourth, oral contraceptives; Fifth, polish nails or use abrasives. May wish to adopt the following correction methods respectively.
1. Take two tablespoons of yeast and 1000 mg of choline orally every day. It is best to add these nutrients to liquid or milk for oral administration, which will help improve the strength of nails.
2. In view of the fact that iron deficiency can lead to dry and fragile nails, it is best to eat more iron-rich foods and take vitamin C to improve the ability to absorb iron.
3. Soak and polish flawless nails with warm malt oil or other natural oil for about 5- 10 minutes every day, and then massage from fingertips to the surface cuticle. If the nail surface is slightly scratched by the sand board, grease can easily penetrate into it.
Soak your fingers with vinegar diluent every night, which is a good way to prevent nails from cracking easily. Using white iodine above and below the nail tip can not only restore the elasticity and strength of the nail, but also hinder the nail from being cut off.
Second, the nails become fish-shaped and brightly colored.
People with chronic diseases, long-term depression, smoking or finger contact with carbon paper, hair dye and other chemical pollutants can discolor or stain their nails. If the nails are deeply dyed, it's best to wait until the new nails grow. If you want to remove surface stains in time, you can rub your fingertips repeatedly with a piece of lemon, and then wash and dry.
Third, the nails are grotesque.
If you lack protein or iron for a long time, it is usually easy to cause spoon-shaped or flat nails, which can be corrected by improving diet and nutrition. It is said that wearing artificial nails can soften the water stored in nails and cause them to bend upwards. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately increase nutrition and remove the artificial nails worn.
Fourth, the nails are dull.
If the nails are wavy and dull, it may indicate a lack of protein, vitamins A and B or minerals. This can improve the daily diet and supplement multivitamins every day. Add vitamin B6 and zinc 15g. The black and white nails indicate that you may have liver disease. At this time, you can ask a doctor to check and help you make a diagnosis.
Five, pale nails
This may be a sign of zinc and vitamin B6 deficiency, or it may be caused by anemia. After improving diet and nutrition, the symptoms of pale nails still exist, so you should consult a doctor to find out the reason.
Sixth, the nails are sunken.
The symptoms of this disease A indicate that the body is deficient in calcium, protein and sulfur. These nutrients can be obtained from eggs and garlic, and it is better to eat them often.
Seven, ridge, groove and groove nail
If you wear artificial nails or don't pay attention to trimming the cuticle outside, it will lead to ridge, bad and grooved nails. These abnormal signs may be caused by diseases and nutritional deficiencies, so symptomatic treatment is appropriate.
Eight, linear uplift nail
This strange nail with beautiful appearance often happens after being in a bad mood or getting sick. If you can eat a proper diet rich in protein every day and take vitamin C plus 15 mg zinc supplement, you can accelerate the growth of new nails and make the linear nails with horizontal protrusions gradually disappear.
Nine, vertical slot nail
Sometimes this kind of nail will happen after the age of 40, because the ability of cell regeneration is weakened. Therefore, check at least once a year to see if there is anemia or lack of vitamins and minerals. The disease may indicate a lack of vitamin A, calcium or iron.
Soft and fragile nails
This unhealthy nail is often caused by excessive contact with water or chemicals in nail cosmetics. Secondly, it is also related to bad mood and poor diet. Eat more sunflower seeds in daily life, increase the intake of vitamin A, and take 5000 mg dolomite orally every day. It is reported that this product can supplement calcium and magnesium, which can make the soft and brittle nails return to normal within 3 weeks and look brand-new.
