1, change of nail color
The color of healthy nails is pink, and the blood supply of healthy people is very sufficient. If the color of nails has changed, it means that some organs of the body have problems, such as the whitening of nails, which may be caused by anemia. If the nails are gray, it may be because of fungal infection, especially onychomycosis. If the nails are black, there may be a major illness.

2. Crescent nails
Normal nails have crescent moon, which is called half moon mark. This is the storage of protein representing the body. Generally, the crescent moon accounts for 1 of the whole nail. If the half-moon sign is insufficient or exceeds it, it is abnormal. If it is insufficient, it means that the protein in the body is insufficient and the gastrointestinal tract is weak, so protein needs to be supplemented. If it exceeds, it means that the myocardium is enlarged and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are prone to occur. Therefore, the new moon is called a "barometer" of human health.
3. Nail texture
If you look carefully, the surface of a healthy nail is very smooth and almost no texture can be seen. However, if horizontal or vertical texture is found on nails, it is a signal from the body. If vertical stripes appear, it means that the human body is declining, and the respiratory system and nervous system may be diseased. If there are striations, it indicates the beginning of dangerous pathology. Generally, the horizontal stripes are only exposed at the bottom of nails, and gradually move up with the growth of nails. When you see such stripes, you must pay attention. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. It usually suggests intestinal infection and pneumonia.
4. Spots on nails
There are no spots on the surface of normal and healthy nails. If there are spots on the nails, it means some kind of disease. If there are too many white spots on the nails, it is a sign of neurasthenia. If there are yellow spots, you have digestive system diseases.
10 Common Signs of Nail Health
1, yellow nail
Yellowing of nails may be just a symptom of aging with age, but sometimes it is also due to frequent application of nail polish. But boys are not too worried about this. There is another reason. Smoking can also cause yellow nails.
2, chapped nails, broken
Cracking or breaking of nails is very common. It may be that the nails are too dry and easy to break, and the reasons for the nails being too dry may be swimming, washing dishes with water, often washing dishes without gloves, and living in a low humidity environment. Aging and frequent contact with chemicals are also a reason.
If you really break your nails often, it may be a side effect caused by the symptoms of "hypothyroidism", so you need to see a doctor quickly.
3. Rod nails
Grasping refers to the swelling of the nail end, which causes the nail to form an arc. This may be a symptom of liver or kidney disease. If you have this symptom, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
4. There are small white spots on the nails
Many people think that the appearance of small white spots on nails is a symptom of calcium deficiency, but it is not entirely correct. Usually the appearance of small white dots is not necessarily meaningful. It may be just a minor injury, such as a nail hitting something, not necessarily a calcium deficiency.
5. Transverse ridgeline
If you have transverse lines on your nails, it is either a direct injury or a serious disease symptom, and you usually see these lines on more than one nail. That's because when your body fights diseases day and night, your body does more important things (killing viruses and so on) to store energy, so the energy of nails is not much.
6. Radial cut texture
Those with vertical lines need not be nervous at all, which is a normal phenomenon with age. Just as wrinkles grow on the skin, the vertical line of nails is the wrinkles of nails.
Step 7 bite your nails
Many people have a bad habit of biting their nails, but if they bite too often, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sometimes psychotropic drugs for obsessive-compulsive disorder also have special prescriptions for biting nails. Studies have shown that rubbing something with bitter ingredients on your nails can also help.
8. sunken nails
People with sunken nails may have sunken nails because they are too thin. In addition, sunken nails may also represent "iron deficiency anemia", and sometimes nails are too pale. If the nails appear in these conditions, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
9. Concave nails
If your nails are sunken or sunken, see a doctor, because it may be a symptom of psoriasis.
10, dark stripes, painful when nails are long.
If your nails are dark spots, discolored (like black stripes), or feel pain when growing nails, you should see a doctor immediately. Because it is a symptom of "melanoma", melanoma can cause black lines and stripes on your nails, so when your nails are in this state, don't hesitate to go to the hospital.
Nails are a barometer of human health, so everyone should pay more attention to nails and pay attention to the abnormality of nails. Don't let your nails be abnormal and ignore them.
