Nails

Your nails can indicate many diseases in your body, but before getting diagnosed, you should be sure you don’t have a fungus infection.

* If you don’t use nail polish, but your nails have a yellow shadow it means that something is wrong with your liver. A red color shows the excess of erythrocytes, a blue color demonstrates that you have a weak heart. If your nails are too pale it is a symptom of anemia.

* A thumb is connected with brains and skull; forefinger is connected with lungs; middle finger – with a small intestine; forth finger – with a kidney; and little finger – with a heart.

White spots on the forth fingernail show that you have deposits of calcium in a kidney; on a forefinger – accumulation of calcium in lungs. If you have white spots on every nail that means that you have a lack of zinc and something is wrong with your nervous system.

* Cross furrows appear after infectious diseases, operations and diets.

* Bulging nails may signal a weakness of heart and lungs.

* Large white demilunes at the roots of your nails show the predisposition to tachycardia. The absence of demilunes indicates a lack of vital strengths.

* Flat and curved nails indicate asthma and bronchitis.

* Nails can be ‘curly’ because of deficient blood flow to your fingers or because of a bad manicure.

* If your nails crack too often, it means you have some disease of the endocrine system, liver, bile-excreting ways or some skin diseases. Fragile nails indicate that there is lack of vitamins B, D, iron and calcium.
