What Your Nails Can Tell You About Your Health
One of the biggest indicators of good (or bad) health may be literally right in front of you all day. According to to The Prescription for Nutritional Healing, the nails can indicate a slew of health conditions:
- A hangnail may be indicative of a lack of protein, folic acid, or vitamin C.
- A white band on the nail may indicate a lack of protein.
- Fragile or ridged nails indicates a lack of B vitamins.
- Dryness, curved or darkened ends of nails indicates a lack specifically of vitamin B12.
- “Spoon” (concave) nails and vertical ridges indicate an iron deficiency.
- White spots indicate a zinc deficiency.
So always remember to check your nails if you suspect a possible vitamin or protein deficiency!
