What Your Nails Say About Your Health

Many of us don’t know that nails say a lot about our health. Indeed they can. Nails help us by sending different messages about our health to take precautions and procedures, to cure or prevent illness. Let’s see what your nails say about your health.

1. What white nail beds say: 

- If your nail beds are white and pale, it means that you are suffering from anemia.

- White, pale nails also say that your body is not receiving enough oxygen, which makes iron levels drop in your blood system.

- White, pale nails might also be a sign of diabetes. In this case, you should eat more red meat and vegetables, and avoid carbs, and you should see a doctor.

2. What yellow nails say: 

- Yellow nails may be a sign that your nails have fungus, and in this case you need to take an appointment with your dermatologist so he can write you a prescription.

3. What dark nails say:

- If you see (black or brown) spots on your nails, then you should also head to your dermatologist, as this might be a sign of a serious skin disease.

4. What weak nails that are easy to break say:

6. What blue nails say:
