Unhealthy nails – symptoms of body problems
Posted on February 21st, 2008 | by fisker |Different parts of the body are inter-related. Hence something that affects one part of the body can badly interfere with the normal functioning of another part of the body. Hence adequate attention is necessary to have a healthy body condition throughout.
Nails can indicate the unhealthy condition of some other body part. A healthy nail must be strong, without color and smooth. If there are yellowish nails or brittleness on the nails or have ridges or white spots on the nails, all these can show an unhealthy nail. But these can be indication of problems in some other part of the body. It can be the sign of a bacterial or fungal infection in the body or an abnormal oxygen level in the body is indicated. Unhealthy nails can be due to kidney problems or liver diseases. A malnutrition or deficiency of vitamins can be shown as nail problems.
