If the eyes are called the mirror of the soul, then the nails are the mirror of our health. There are a huge number of both traditional and non-traditional methods and methods for diagnosing the state of human health. Among these methods and diagnostics on the condition of our nails. For example, Chinese healers have been using this method for many centuries in a row. But at the same time, modern medicine today does not recognize the method of determining health by the condition of the nails as an independent one and uses it as an additional method to confirm or recognize any pathologies.

In humans, they are completely renewed in about six months. Therefore, they can tell about the state of human health during this period. According to individual signs of the condition of the nails, one can say about genetic predispositions to any diseases and chronic diseases. For example, if the nails begin to grow more slowly than usual, this may be one of the signs of diseases. endocrine system and in young women a sign of pregnancy.

Health and condition of nails and heredity

Experienced diagnosticians, looking at a person’s nails, can even tell about his parents. For example, children of chronic alcoholics have a special shape of nails - concave. People with chronic diabetes also have a distinctive nail shape, and the exact same nail shape will be passed down to their children (elongated nail). But do not worry that the disease itself will be transmitted along with the shape of the nail. But this may be a sign that a person is predisposed to a particular disease and it is necessary to take preventive methods to prevent the onset of the disease.

Changing the shape and color of nails during illness

As a rule, chronic diseases and health problems of the nail are indicated by a change in the structure of the nails, their shape and relief. At the initial stages of the disease, as a rule, only the color of the nails changes. For example, with heart defects, chronic diseases of the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract, they take the form of drumsticks, this is a painless thickening on the terminal phalanges of the fingers of soft tissues, which usually manifests itself both on the legs and on the hands, but the bone tissue does not change.

Nail shape can also tell about the presence of very serious diseases in a person.

The condition of the nails, or rather their shape, for example, convex, may indicate that a person has pulmonary tuberculosis. With hepatitis, the nails become shiny and thin. Harbingers of the onset of oncological diseases are high tubular nails. With bronchial asthma, the nails become twisted and flat. If any pathology of the kidneys develops, then on the ring fingers the nails take the form of a semicircle. If there are problems associated with, the nails become triangular.

But as mentioned above, not only the shape of the nails can tell about the health of their owner, the color of the nails is also such an indicator. Everyone knows that pink nails are a sign good health, but the bluish-purple color of the nails indicates that a person is seriously suffering from pulmonary diseases or has problems with the cardiovascular system. If a person's nails are dark red, this is a sign of circulatory disorders, and with lilac nails, people experience general weakness. Yellowish nails indicate problems with the liver or gallbladder. With prolonged fever, the nails become dark brown. Yellowish-greenish nails are a sign of congenital malformations, severe heart failure, or purulent processes in the body. Milky white nails are a sign of cirrhosis of the liver, and pale nails indicate anemia.

What does the surface of the nails say

Not only the shape and color of nails can tell about the state of human health, their surface is also an important factor. White spots may appear on it, which indicates serious violations nervous system, and if the spots are yellow, it means that the work of the brain is disrupted. When vertical lines appear on the nails, you need to pay attention to how the food you eat is digested. If the grooves on the nails are horizontal, this indicates that the person has recently suffered some kind of serious illness. Also, according to the state of the surface of the nail, one can judge whether or not there are fungal diseases.

“Hands are the most honest part of a woman: they will tell what her tongue will never give out,” the French joke, hinting that one can recognize a carefully concealed age by hands.

In fact, hands are much more eloquent. According to the condition of the hands, and especially the nails, one can judge the disorders in the human body.
The nails can be used to diagnose disorders of the body and some diseases:
If the color of the nails is uneven, bluish, or paler than the color of the skin, there is reason to suspect a disorder in the circulatory system or an infection in the lungs (pneumonia).
Transverse grooves on the surface of the nail indicate a recent severe infectious disease.
Longitudinal scars on the nails are a sign of an unbalanced diet.
Horizontal dents or pits remain after a sharp, adversely affecting the body, change in diet.
Brittle nails most often cause frequent contact with aggressive detergents. Another more serious cause of brittle nails is a metabolic disorder.
White spots on the nails indicate an excess of sugar in the blood (possibly incipient diabetes).
Yellow spots or complete yellowing of the nail indicates a violation of fat metabolism, and may also indicate respiratory diseases.
The appearance of bulges resembling small pearls is a sign of a protracted viral disease.
Concave (spoon-shaped) nails can be a sign of anemia caused by a lack of iron in the body.
Holes of nails become whitish or pearlescent if the skin receives insufficient nutrition.
Nails begin to exfoliate or split if there is a malfunction in the functioning of the ovaries.
On the nails, you can also establish the approximate time of occurrence of deviations in the work of a particular organ. In a week, fingernails grow about 1 mm, and the full life cycle of a human nail is about 6 months. Based on this, we can conclude that the deviation, due to which the spots or grooves that appeared near the hole, appeared about 3 months ago.


Grooves are a sign of an unbalanced diet

Nails with a blue tint may indicate an infection in the lungs

Dry and brittle nails- metabolic disorder, with a yellow tint - fungal infection

In old age, the nails may be lighter, it can also be a sign of diseases.

White nails with a dark rim - liver disease
Hands can also reveal the secret of internal changes in the body:
purple color fingertips indicates poor functioning of the digestive system.
Dark red with a lilac tint color of the fingertips indicates a malfunction in the kidneys.
Spots on the skin of the tubercles of Venus indicate disorders of the reproductive system.
Red nodules between the fingers can appear with thyroid diseases.
Rough skin on the back of the index fingers is a sign of gallbladder dysfunction.


Inflammation of the connective tissues of the nail
Nail care questions: Is it true that nail polishes contain poisonous substances?
The opinion about the harmful effects of varnishes on the health of the nail plates is widespread. It is only partly fair. Only low-quality varnishes of dubious origin have a harmful effect on nails. High-quality varnishes not only do not harm nails, but on the contrary, nourish, strengthen and protect them. Especially useful are nail coatings enriched with proteins, calcium, natural oils and vitamins. However, even under the highest quality nail polish of a bright or dark color (scarlet, purple, dark brown, black, etc.), a protective base should be applied - it prevents bright coloring pigments from being absorbed into nail plate and then the nails do not change the natural color.

Bad habit or sign of constant anxiety
What are different manicure products - varnishes, bases, fixatives?
All manicure products are complex compositions made up of five basic groups of chemicals: solvents, thinners, plasticizers, film-forming agents and dyes. In addition to the basic components, the composition of manicure products includes specific additives aimed at nail care ( natural oils vitamins, proteins, minerals, etc.).
Attention: low-quality varnishes may contain substances hazardous to health. These substances not only can cause allergic reactions, but also provoke the growth of cancer cells and can cause fetal malformation in pregnant women (!).
Dangerous components of nail polishes are recognized: toluene, sulfonamide formaldehyde rubber, formaldehyde, methacrylate, dibutyl phthalate (DBF). The basis for varnish (base) is the same varnish, only without dyes. The content of caring components in the base is usually higher than in decorative varnish. The tasks of the base under the varnish are to prevent the penetration of bright pigments into the nail plate, which over time give the nails yellow. The special base can be replaced with a regular light or clear varnish. A fixative (protective coating) is a tool that no longer protects nails, but decorative varnish. Its task is to protect the lacquer pigments from fading in the light, to give strength to the lacquer coating and to maintain the original luster of the lacquer. There are no caring components in the fixer, since they cannot penetrate the nail plate through a layer of decorative varnish.
The following nutritional supplements will help strengthen nails: vitamins A and D, calcium, proteins. But perhaps the most nice way- eat within a month on an empty stomach 200 gr. fruit jelly, as gelatin is good for nails. It stimulates their growth, makes them stronger and smoother.


This is what healthy nails look like

The appearance of the nail plates can tell a person about the state of health more than it seems at first glance. Some nail diseases can be predicted before severe symptoms appear. This method was first actively used by healers Ancient China which further allowed them to bring their knowledge into a single system. Knowing it, you can quite accurately determine the weak points of the body without any special equipment.

It is better to have a specially trained professional do the diagnostics. However, the most obvious deviations can be recognized by any person on their own. The peculiarity of this technique is that the age of a person absolutely does not affect the quality of diagnosis - at least at 20 years old, at least at 70, the results of the examination will indicate the same deviations from the norm.

The state of the nail plate directly depends on the coherence of work within the endocrine system. It is responsible for regulating the functioning of organs, their interaction, supports normal life, growth and development of the body. And if a failure occurs in any place, this affects the growth and health of the nail.

The nail plate consists of many layers of keratin with layers of fats and water, which gives healthy nail matte gloss. It is surrounded on three sides by a skin fold that prevents bacteria and dirt from entering the growth zone. The structure is porous, allowing it to absorb the substances applied to it (vitamins, antifungal ointments), which makes it possible to directly influence the condition of the nails and return the normal appearance as quickly as possible.

What does a healthy nail look like?

Before you start examining your fingernails for abnormalities, you need to know what they look like when they are completely healthy. Normal appearance:

• no burrs;
• even pink shade, without spots and opacities;
• the surface is even and smooth with a matte sheen, without pits, cracks, lamination and other irregularities;
• the end is light, the plate itself is translucent;
• lunula (a light area at the base in the shape of a crescent) is clearly expressed, white-pink in color, present on all nails;
• elasticity and density allow not to break and not to bend at the slightest mechanical impact.

The relationship of organs and nails on the hands

Each finger on the hands is associated with a specific system in the body. If the initial diagnosis of nails revealed problems on one of them, this may mean problems with certain organs:

1. The thumb indicates problems with the brain and cranium, the respiratory system.
2. Index - inflammatory processes and infections of the oral cavity and teeth.
3. Medium - directly related to the cardiovascular system and the heart.
4. Nameless - nervous and urinary system.
5. Little finger - gastrointestinal tract, reproductive system.

Negative changes are not always so obvious that they can be recognized at the initial stage. However, there are some warning signs that indicate the onset of more obvious symptoms:

• Growth has slowed down. It is normal when it grows about 1 mm per week.
• Cloudy or discolored, spots or streaks appear.
• The relief and structure have changed, convex or concave areas have formed.
• The nail became brittle, thinned, began to exfoliate, cracks appeared.
• The color or size of the lunula on at least one finger has changed.

Definition of diseases on the nails of the hands

There are a number of signs that indicate problems in the body that your nails can talk about:

• Convex shape: liver and blood diseases, hepatitis, heart failure, colitis, thyroid gland, sometimes the onset of tumor formation.
• Concave shape: lack of vitamins and minerals, anemia, skin diseases, thyroid problems.
• Thin and small lunula: lung problems, a common symptom of smokers. It can also mean low levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells (anemia, anemia).
• Too big lunula: problems of cardio-vascular system, circulatory disorders.
• Many small pits: inflammation of the joints in the initial stage. Often occurs with psoriasis along with cloudy yellow-brown spots along the edges of the nail.
• The tint of the nail or lunula is bluish: problems with the liver or circulation.
• Grooves parallel to growth: inflammation of the teeth or sinuses, damage to the joints and the cardiovascular system.
• Longitudinal depressions transverse to growth: problems with the liver, spleen or gastrointestinal tract, lack of zinc.
• Flat shape with an overestimation at the end of the nail, more common on the legs: heart disease.
• Arcuate lines running parallel to each other from the lunula: lack of protein.

If the lunula is missing on one of the fingers:

• Large - traumatic brain injury or advanced brain disease.
• Index - diseases of the pelvic organs, liver, respiratory system, colon.
• Medium - failures of the circulatory system, pressure drops.
• Nameless - inflammation of the lymphatic system, impaired metabolism.
• Little finger - diseases of the cardiovascular system, heart rhythm disturbances, severe slagging of the small intestine.

Nail color and diseases

Healthy color is pink. Any deviation may indicate any disease in the nails:

• A gradient of two colors: milky at the base, gradually turning into pink - acute renal failure. Lunula does not have clear boundaries.
• A dark longitudinal stripe in the middle (melanonychia) is a subungual melanoma. In this case, a nail biopsy should be performed as soon as possible. If the stripes are few or they are implicitly expressed, this may indicate a fungal infection, a consequence of long-term use of antibiotics or chemotherapy. Perhaps - poor-quality manicure or close contact of the nail with tobacco.
• Brown shade - pyelonephritis and kidney failure, diabetes, Addison's disease, malnutrition, taking certain drugs. Cause Brown can also become aggressive nail polish. If a green tint is added to brown, this may be a sign of candidiasis or aspergillosis.
• Blurred color, yellow with brown spots - most likely a fungus, sometimes a consequence of taking antibiotics.
• Yellow - affected liver or lymphatic system, slow digestion. But more often - low-quality manicure.
• Black color - possible acute thrombosis of the limb, gangrene in diabetes mellitus.
• Blue tint - pathology of the respiratory system, infectious damage to the lungs. Perhaps diabetes, if the blue is only at the base of the nail.
• Completely pale or white nail- cirrhosis of the liver, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases. If a small arcuate dark border is present, it may indicate hepatitis C disease, and if the border is pink, jaundice.
• White spots are a disadvantage useful substances(Ca, Fe, Zn, vitamins A, B, C, E), excessive consumption of sugar, reduced immunity and neuroses.
• Black spots and dots - subungual hematoma, sometimes inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis).

Causes of furrows and stripes

The surface of the plate must be smooth. If irregularities appear, this may indicate the beginning of some kind of deviation:

• Stripes transverse to growth: a trace of severe stress, fever or infection. Improper care, unbalanced nutrition, beriberi.
• Longitudinal stripes: associated with nutrition and neuroses (severe malnutrition or, conversely, overeating of carbohydrates, insomnia, depressive states, intestinal problems, lack of iron).

Another reason for such stripes is joint problems, arthritis (often accompanied by wavy depressions on the nail plate). Failure of the reproductive system. If the presence of longitudinal stripes accompanies a rash on the chest, abdomen, groin, armpits, etc., this may indicate a symptom of lichen planus.

Transverse dents can indicate any inflammatory processes in the body, ranging from caries to inflammation of the gallbladder or kidneys. These are rare cases and are always accompanied by other symptoms: fever, various pains in the body, etc. Most likely, the cause of the dents lies in a sharp change in diet or improper care: if you press hard on the base during a manicure or cut the cuticle inaccurately.

How nutrition affects the condition of the nails

In most cases, problems arise due to an ill-conceived diet, which contains a small amount of nutrients, up to their complete absence. For example, with a lack of calcium and zinc, white spots appear on the nail plate that can grow to stripes with jagged edges. Furrows and ugly depressions may also appear, which can even spoil best manicure. The most common problems due to an unbalanced diet:

• White spots, slow growth - lack of micro and macro elements (calcium, zinc).
• Numbness of the extremities - deficiency of B vitamins, in particular, the absence of cyanocobalamin (B12).
• Cracks, increased brittleness, thinning, lamination - lack of vitamin C, magnesium.
• Burrs - need vitamins A and E.

What to do about it is obvious. It is enough to make up for the deficiency of vitamins and minerals, eat more vegetables and fruits, instead of sugar and flour products. From time to time, food of animal origin should appear on the table: lean fish, meat, offal, sour-milk products. Purchased juices should be replaced with freshly squeezed ones.

Other reasons for the change

Various mechanical influences can also cause a change in appearance. For example, harsh cleaning chemicals can make the plates brittle and discolor. To prevent this from happening, be sure to use rubber gloves, even when washing dishes. And after tidying up, it will not be superfluous to treat the nails with high-quality apple cider vinegar, ideally - made independently.

One more common cause deterioration of the condition - poor-quality manicure and tools damaging the plate. This is especially true of red and dark shades of varnish, which in just a couple of days can make it yellow and unattractive. To avoid this, you need to choose high-quality varnish and apply a transparent base under the colored layer.

Changes in nails do not always indicate dangerous diseases. Otherwise, the symptoms will spread throughout the body. They are more likely to indicate to the doctor which of the organs to pay special attention to, rather than become the only visible symptom of the disease.

In any case, it is necessary to periodically conduct an examination in order to increase the chance to calculate the disease at the initial stage and avoid long-term treatment with possible complications.

Nail plates are a fairly reliable indicator of the state of health of the body. In some cases, they show signs of the disease much earlier than anywhere else. Thus, often the condition and appearance of the nails help to establish the presence of a particular chronic or acute disease and start treatment at an early stage. It is very important to carefully monitor the health of the nails and if there are any deviations, consult a doctor. We will talk about what diseases can be determined by the nails of the hands and / or toes in this material.

The cardiovascular system

Diseases of the cardiovascular system and blood circulation appear on the nails at a time when the patient may not notice other symptoms. Thus, the most characteristic sign will be a change in the color of the nail from pink to bluish. This indicates that insufficient oxygen is supplied to the fingertips. This deviation can be determined quite accurately, since in this case not only the nails become bluish, but also the fingertips.

In this case, the definition of the disease by fingernails can greatly simplify the process of diagnosing and prescribing treatment, and most importantly, it allows you to notice the disease at an early stage. Due to the fact that we can talk about circulatory disorders not only in the fingers, but throughout the body, the problem can be quite serious. That is why timely treatment to the doctor is very important. A disease of this type is most often accompanied by general weakness, dizziness, and sometimes low blood pressure.

It is very important to know how to identify diseases by fingernails, because this can help diagnose very serious diseases. For example, the appearance of a dark spot on the surface of the nail may occur due to a banal mechanical injury, such as pinching or impact. But it can also be a sign of a very dangerous disease - endocarditis. Thus, if you notice such a stain on your nail, but are sure that you did not get injured, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Blood condition

Health status of the nails

Quite often it turns out to carry out the definition of the disease by the nails of the hands, when their condition is associated with any deviation in the composition of the blood. Thus, for example, if the nail bed is very light, almost white, or with a slight pinkish tint, then with a high degree of probability we can say that the patient either already suffers from anemia, or it is just beginning to develop. Anemia is a lack of iron in the body, and therefore, a general blood test, which must be taken in this case, is likely to show low hemoglobin. In this case, it is very important to consult a doctor in a timely manner for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Another alarming condition of the nails, which can indicate disorders and diseases of the blood, is an overly saturated color of the nail bed. It can be bright - or dark - pink, almost red, very saturated shade. In this case, there is likely to be a significant excess of red blood cells in the blood. This phenomenon can occur under the influence of many factors, and therefore, it is necessary to pass a general clinical blood test. If there is a deviation in it, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Somatic diseases

Diseases internal organs and nail color are very closely related. Color changes may appear as yellowing, darkening, bluish tint, or whiteness of the nail bed. Thus, bluish nails can indicate not only problems with the cardiovascular system, but also problems with the lungs and respiratory system, since the manifestation of this shade is primarily associated with insufficient oxygen saturation.

Another factor in how to determine the disease by the nails is yellowing. This phenomenon deserves close attention, as it can occur for many reasons. Both completely harmless, such as staining with a coloring pigment from a nail polish when applied without a base, and much more serious. For example, nails can turn yellow with viral hepatitis and other liver diseases.

The most dangerous disease that is characterized by such a symptom is cirrhosis of the liver, which occurs for one reason or another. That is why you should consult a doctor if the yellowing of the nails appeared quite abruptly. However, with advanced cirrhosis, the plates, on the contrary, turn white in the area of ​​​​the nail bed. This can be observed both over its entire area, and exclusively in the area around the lunula.

The disappearance of the lunula on the nail may indicate problems with the lungs. thumb. If the lunula on the index disappeared, then we are talking about problems with the large intestine, pancreas and liver. In addition, this can also serve as a sign of inflammatory processes in the pelvis.

Diet Violation

Very often, nails help to identify not so much diseases of the body as to characterize its general condition. Thus, a violation of the diet, the abuse of bad habits and other factors also find manifestations on the nail plates. In particular, many changes in the condition of the nails are associated with beriberi.

• White strokes and dots on the nails indicate a lack of calcium. However, this phenomenon can also signal violations in the work of the central nervous system;
• If white spots appear on the nail of the index finger, on the contrary, we can talk about excessive deposition of calcium salts;
• Nails become thin and brittle with a lack of vitamin C, iron, vitamin D, omega fatty acids, etc.

If you notice these signs in yourself, then it is likely that in Lately grossly violated the diet, as a result of which the influx of nutrients into the body decreased. It is necessary to consume a lot of cereals, which will provide nails with B vitamins, butter, rich in vitamin E, is very beneficial for nails. Sour-milk and, to a lesser extent, dairy products also contribute to the influx of calcium into the body, cereals and apples will also be enriched with iron.

Diseases of the nails

However, determining health by nails in this way may not be very effective during periods of seasonal beriberi, for example, in spring. In this case, even with full adherence to the diet, the amount of vitamins in the body is still reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to nourish them from outside. Good results are obtained by rubbing an oil solution of vitamins A and E into the nail plate, for example, from Aevit capsules. You can also use complex multivitamins.

The definition of diseases on the nails should be carried out only at home, and having carefully studied them. In order for the examination to be the most comprehensive and correct, it must be performed in daylight. It is also recommended to put your hand on a sheet of white paper in order to correctly determine the color. skin and plates and to avoid affecting their perception of the shades of the environment.

If you want to know about the state of your health in general, then look at your fingernails. They are really eloquent and will tell you a lot.

Examining your nails, how to determine health by fingernails, reveal your most intimate secrets. The nails of the hands are able to signal trouble in some organ and the state of health in general. How to determine health by fingernails
White spots
If you see white spots on your nails, then this means that you need to look for causes of internal origin. They can be anemia, impaired liver and kidney function, restructuring of the body during maturation and old age, as well as fever.
Brittle nails
The first cause of brittle nails may arise from a decrease in the ability of their keratin (a protein substance that performs integumentary and protective functions) to bind water. Keratin is formed at the root of the nail and gradually hardens on its way to the exposed part of the nail plate. The process of keratinization is disturbed under the influence of mechanical and organic factors.
The second reason for the appearance of cracks and brittle nails of the hands can be external reasons: the use of alkaline chemical solutions, aggressive cleaning products, poor-quality nail polish removers. In this case, rubber gloves, nail polish removers containing oil will help ...
The third reason for brittle nails is a lack of vitamins (avitaminosis) and iron in the body, as well as hormonal disorders.
A balanced, nutritious diet and medication will help stabilize the structure of the nails. prescribed by a doctor for hormonal disorders. Fresh fruits, fish, dairy products, wholemeal bread, as well as traditional medicine will help the treatment.
cracking nails
Basically, cracking of the nails occurs from mechanical stress and damage, or wounds to the root of the nail, which then can no longer grow as a single element.
But if nail cracking occurs on several fingers at once and without external influences, it can be assumed that this is a sign of diabetes mellitus or a dysfunction of the thyroid gland.
Convex nails

Convex nails indicate significant changes in the body. The shape of the nail plate in this case becomes like a watch glass. If this form of nails is hereditary, then this is not a disease.
If it occurs suddenly, then this indicates a severe violation of cardiac activity, the circulatory system, or a lung disease. This is a signal to see a doctor.
concave nail
A concave nail resembles a spoon in its shape, because it has a small hollow in its center. Such an anomaly occurs most often in people whose work is associated with a warm and humid environment and contact with alkaline solutions.
But these troubles can be avoided if you use personal protective equipment.
Most often, these signs are accompanied by a disease of the stomach and intestines, anemia. In this case, it is necessary to increase the intensity of metabolism, and in traditional medicine There are many tools to help you do this.

Definition of diseases appearance nails
White semicircles
What are the nails talking about? At the base of the fingers are white semicircles - holes. In childhood, they are on every finger, but the older the person, the smaller the holes become, and sometimes disappear altogether. These wells are also a mirror of the health and disease of each person.
Thumb- the lung meridian approaches it. If the hole has changed its shape, has become narrower, then we can assume a violation in the work of the lungs, bronchi, in combination with the pathology of the brain.
The index finger is responsible for the large intestine. Reduction or disappearance of the hole indicates a serious malfunction in the large intestine, in the work of the liver, pancreas. It may also be associated with gynecological diseases.
Middle finger associated with the vascular system: veins, capillaries, arteries. A change in the shape of the hole may be the first signal of incipient atherosclerosis.
ring finger is able to characterize a whole bunch of diseases: malfunctions of the endocrine and lymphatic systems, in the function of the thyroid gland and some other endocrine glands.
Little finger gives information about the most important organ - the heart, as well as the state of the small intestine. The disappearance of the hole on the little finger is associated with hypertension. Violation of the heart rhythm, dysfunction of the small intestine.
You should know that at the age of 25-30 years, changes in the shape of the holes are not associated with the diseases listed above.
If your nails make you take care of your health, then they will be the first to report positive changes in the body. The moons will begin to increase, which means that the diseases recede.
Transverse furrows
Transverse furrows appear due to circulatory disorders in the nail bed. In this case, the growth of the nail plate may slow down. But the cause of the appearance of grooves can be serious illnesses or poisonings, and excessive passion for diets, surgeries, pregnancy and severe mental shocks.
Longitudinal furrows

Longitudinal grooves usually signal a disease of the pancreas, diabetes and other diseases associated with metabolic disorders in the body. Often the reason for their appearance lies in the lack of vitamin A, in the improper functioning of the stomach and intestines.
You can get rid of such grooves:
You should include more foods containing vitamin A in your diet, such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, egg yolks. Liver and wholemeal products. You can regulate metabolism with the help of traditional medicine recipes.

2. Eat regularly feijoa fruits or juice with pulp from them, 50-100 g per day 20 minutes before meals.
Experts believe that the diagnosis of fingernails can tell everything about the health of the human body to an inquisitive eye.
