People usually think that white spots on nails are a sign of calcium deficiency, but sometimes it also means zinc deficiency. As one of the important minerals in human body, zinc can help our body to produce many important enzymes, which are the necessary components of human immune system and further production of hormones. Zinc is also a mineral necessary for the human body to produce all kinds of energy and self-repair and reproduction.
For example, when you are nervous for a long time, the consumption of zinc is also huge. White spots on nails will also begin to appear because of zinc deficiency. At this time, zinc needs to be supplemented!
How to supplement: Because of the special structure of vegetables, zinc in vegetables is difficult to be absorbed by human body, so the best way to supplement zinc is to eat meat, especially fish, crabs, mussels, nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
Another situation has nothing to do with poor health and calcium deficiency.
Because nails are made in the nail matrix, that is, in an area close to the skin, if the nails are bumped, damaged or bitten during the growth process, the nails will become irregular and contain air. When nails grow out, they will form a white mark, and then you won't remember being hurt before.
If you are very concerned about the beauty of your nails, you should pay more attention to protection in peacetime to avoid injury.
If there are other symptoms, such as poor appetite, decreased immune function, easy to get sick, dull skin, yellow hair and so on. It may be a lack of zinc in the body. The best way to solve zinc deficiency is to have a balanced diet and eat more foods rich in zinc, including oysters, pork liver, beef and mutton, fish and shrimp, walnuts, sesame seeds and peanuts. Generally speaking, this is not a serious problem. Pay attention to the law of balanced diet, don't care too much, keep a good attitude and wish you good health!
