5 Health Issues That Your Nails Inform You About

Your nails can tell you a lot about the rest of your body and health problems. Look through the list and see whether you can notice any of the symptoms mentioned below:

1. White Stripes and Spots
If your nails have suffered some sort of trauma, it is very likely that you have white stripes and spots. If the injury occurred not long ago, the problem is not serious. However, if white spots appear and you cannot understand why, it might mean that your body needs more calcium and zinc. The same symptom is typical of people who do not eat enough protein. Adjust your diet or take supplements to solve the issue.

2. Yellow Nails
Women who constantly use nail polish know that nails turn yellow. The same happens to ladies who wear acrylic nails. You can also notice that smokers have yellowish nails. If the mentioned reasons do not explain your yellowish hue, then you might be suffering from a fungal infection. This issue is easily solved with tablets and cream specially created for this purpose. Remember that diabetics also have yellowish nails. This condition is accompanied by frequent urination. In some instances yellow nails bother patients having issues with lungs.
